AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
940 AM CDT THU JUN 22 2006

.UPDATE...
SEVERE TSTM IN SOUTHWEST KY OVER BENTON KY MOVING NORTHEAST. THIS
FEATURE MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK UPPER LEVEL VORT CENTER AND
ASSOCIATED WEAK COOL POOL AROUND 500 MB ON LATEST RUC RUN WHICH IS
PROGGED TO MOVE NORTHEAST.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS LURKING IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE FROM CONVECTION
THAT COLLAPSED LAST EVENING ALONG PLATEAU AND FAR EASTERN MIDDLE.
BOUNDARY RUNNING FROM LEWISBURG TO LEBANON TO LAFAYETTE. HAVE SEEN
A FEW SHOWERS WORK NORTH THROUGH THE PULASKI AREA THIS MORNING BUT
THESE HAVE PRETTY MUCH DISSIPATED.

CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS GOOD AND ON TRACK.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WARM DAY HERE IN MIDDLE TN WITH SOME LOCATIONS
REACHING THE MID 90S.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 400 AM CDT THU JUN 22 2006)

DISCUSSION...
A COUPLE OF LOW PRESSURE TROUGHS. AN WEAK TROUGH LIES FROM
NRN OK TO NRN MO TO NRN OH. FURTHER N...A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
LIES FROM NORTH DAKOTA EWD ACROSS MN TO A STRONG SFC LOW IN
E CNTRL CANADA. 500MB HGHTS DROP FROM THEIR CURRENT 591 DM
DOWN TO 585 DM BY SAT AM AS THE H5 LOW OVER HUDSON BAY DEEPENS
A BIT. AS THE ASSOCD CANADIAN SFC RIDGE PRESSES THE 2 TROUGHS
SWD THE GFS MODEL DEVELOPS A FAIRLY INTENSE SFC LOW OVER THE MISS
VALLEY THU NGT AND MOVES IT EWD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY THIS WEEKEND.
THE 48 HR TIME STEPS ON THE 20 KM NAM AND THE 80 KM NGM HAVE NO SUCH
FEATURE. THUS IT SEEMS THAT THE GFS CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK PROBLEM
HAS REARED ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. THUS THE SHORT RANGE GFS WAS MOSTLY
TOSSED AND THE NAM/NGM WAS USED FOR INITIALIZATION.

AS THE FRONT GETS PUSHED SWD POPS DECLINE INTO THE 20S OR LOWER
FOR MOST OF THE LONG TERM FCST AS THE SFC RIDGE PUSHES FURTHER S
AND DRIER AIR OCCUPIES THE MIDSTATE.

MOS TEMPS WERE IN GENERAL GOOD AGREEMENT WITH ONE MORE DAY OF ABOVE
NORMAL HIGH TEMPS. MOS POPS...DESPITE THE GFS SHORT RANGE PROBLEMS...
SEEM TO BE FAIRLY REASONABLE AND INCREASE INTO THE LIKELY RANGE
AS THE FRONT/TROUGH GETS CLOSER AND THEN DECLINE AFTERWARD.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
