AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 322 AM CDT FRI JUL 22 2005 .DISCUSSION... LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX OVER NRN AND CNTRL KY APPEARS TO HAVE ITS SITES SET ON MIDDLE TN. THE STORMS ARE MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST AT 30 MPH. A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS BEHIND THE INITIAL SURGE OF STRONGER STORMS. IR SAT IMAGERY DOES INDICATE THAT THE CLOUD TOPS HAVE WARMED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. MODELS DO SPREAD MOISTURE ACROSS THE CWA LATER TODAY. SO...IT APPEARS THAT THE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH WILL HOLD TOGETHER AS IT MOVES SOUTHWARD. TEMPS ARE CURRENTLY QUITE WARM ACROSS THE MID STATE AND DEW POINTS ARE RATHER ELEVATED AS WELL. THESE PREEXISTING CONDITIONS WILL HELP TO FUEL THE ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH WHEN IT DOES ARRIVE. SOME OF THE STORMS ARE CURRENTLY SEVERE ACROSS NRN KY AND SOUTHERN IN. A SLIGHT RISK OF SVR STORMS DOES EXIST TODAY ACROSS THE MID STATE SO THE SOUTHWARD EXTENSION OF A WATCH BOX CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR A LITTLE LATER THIS MORNING. FOR POPS...INITIAL THINKING WAS TO GO WITH 50% ACROSS THE PLATEAU AND 40% ELSEWHERE. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE LATEST RADAR TRENDS...POPS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE HIGHER. WILL ADJUST POPS UPWARD ACCORDING TO RADAR AND IR TRENDS AS WE GET TOWARD 4 AM. FOR TEMPS TODAY...WILL UNDERCUT THE MAV SLIGHTLY GIVEN THE APPROACHING PRECIP COMPLEX. SFC BOUNDARY MOVES SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT. WILL STILL INCLUDE A CHANCE OF EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONE. ON SATURDAY...UPPER HIGH BEGINS TO EXERT ITS FORCE ACROSS THE MID STATE. HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TO THEN PREVAIL ALL THE WAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH UPPER 90S FOR HIGHS WEST OF THE PLATEAU. MIN TEMPS WILL DROP BACK DOWN TO NEAR SEASONAL LEVELS...AS DEW POINTS A FEW DEGREES LOWER WILL BE IN PLACE. IN THE EXT...UPPER HIGH SHIFTS EAST OF TN ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA BY THURSDAY. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
