AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 342 AM CDT SAT SEP 23 2006 .DISCUSSION...CONDITIONS WERE VERY WARM OVERNIGHT ACROSS MID TN. TEMPERATURES HAD RISEN INTO THE 70S MOST AREAS...EVEN LOW 80S AT BNA GUSTY SOUTH WINDS HAD ALSO DELIVERED JUICY DEW POINTS. THESE CONDITIONS NOTED AROUND THE REGION WERE CORRELATED WITH AN UNUSUALLY LARGE SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK. MOST OF THE SEVERE ACTION HAS BEEN LOCATED TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST TONIGHT...BUT OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO A BATCH OF STORMS HAD STARTED TO ACCELERATE INTO OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THESE STORMS FOR HEAVY RAIN AND A LINGERING POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER. FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO...MODELS SHOW DIFFERENCES IN TIMING. WE WILL FOLLOW FASTER GFS BASED ON CONSISTENCY AND NATIONAL DISCUSSION PREFERENCES. GFS SHOWS AREA UNDER WARM SECTOR CONDITIONS TODAY WITH GENERALLY SCATTERED CONVECTION. RAIN CHANCES INCREASE TONIGHT WITH POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AS STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES. WE WILL GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES. THESE AREAS WILL BE MOST PRIMED FROM THIS MORNINGS RAIN...AND MODELS SHOW GREATEST QPF THERE LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. REST OF MID STATE WILL HAVE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...BUT LOOKS LIKE SYSTEM WILL BECOME MORE PROGRESSIVE AS IT CROSSES THE MID STATE LATE TONIGHT. IN ADDITION TO HEAVY RAIN...SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE. DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL START TO LIFT NORTH TONIGHT...BUT WIND FIELDS AND INSTABILITY AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL STILL BRING GOOD SEVERE POTENTIAL. ISOLATED TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL COULD OCCUR WITH CELLS AHEAD OF MAIN SQUALL LINE LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST PATTERN WILL EVOLVE TO MORE OF A LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS BECOMING THE MAIN CONCERN. ALONG WITH GREATEST FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL...OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES WILL ALSO BE UNDER THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER AND TORNADO RISK. ON SUNDAY...SHOWERS/STORMS AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH MOST OF OUR AREA BY MIDDAY. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FOLLOW. TAILING UPPER TROUGH COULD KEEP CLOUDINESS AROUND THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. LOW CONFIDENCE SO WILL KEEP SUNDAY NIGHT FORECAST DRY FOR NOW. WEATHER SHOULD BE DRY AND PLEASANT THROUGH MIDWEEK...THEN NEXT SYSTEMS WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS LATE IN THE WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
