AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 221 PM CDT MON JUN 14 2010 .SHORT TERM...HOT TEMPERATURES AND A MOIST LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE ARE RESULTING IN SOME ISOLATED POP-UP THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL OCCUR WITH THESE STORMS AND WITH ECHO TOPS LIKELY TO BE IN THE 45K TO 51K RANGE, BELIEVE A FEW STORMS WILL PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT ELEVATED HEAVY RAIN CORES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR PULSE-TYPE DOWNBURST EVENTS AND LOCALIZED STRONG GUSTY WINDS. MODELS ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON DEVELOPING WEATHER SCENARIO THROUGH LATE WEEK, WITH THE EXPECTATION FOR A SHALLOW COLD FRONT TO GRADUALLY PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE MIDWEST AND AND MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY, AND THEN SAG SLOWLY INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE, WHILE PIVOTING INTO A NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST ORIENTATION (I.E., AS A "BACKDOOR COLD FRONT"). SINCE BEST SUPPORT DYNAMICS ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH EASTWARD FROM THE MIDWEST, ON TUESDAY, ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO NEW ENGLAND BY THURSDAY, BELIEVE SURFACE FRONT WILL BE SOMEWHAT SLOW TO PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO OUR NECK OF THE WOODS. WINDS TURN WESTERLY AS FRONT PUSHES IN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND BELIEVE ORGANIZED CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP IN THE FORM OF A LINEAR SQUALL LINE. HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A COMPROMISE BETWEEN ECMWF AND GFS FOR SURFACE DEW POINT SOLUTION, AS SOUTHWARD PUSH OF DRIER AIR IS SOMEWHAT SUSPECT. SINCE FRONT EVENTUALLY TAKES ON A BACKDOOR ORIENTATION, WILL PROBABLY BRING LOWER DEW POINTS SOUTHWARD INTO THE MID STATE, BUT KEEP THE GRADIENT MORE E-TO-W FOR THE LATTER PERIODS, RATHER THAN N-TO-S. BY 12Z FRIDAY, WE WILL PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER 60S ALONG THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU, TO NEAR 70 ALONG THE TENNESSEE RIVER. BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, EXPECT BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO BE ALONG DEW POINT BOUNDARY IN OUR SOUTHWESTERN AREAS. AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES ACROSS OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY, EXPECT DRIEST DEW POINTS TO FUNNEL SOUTHWESTWARD DURING THAT PERIOD. BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON, EXPECT ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS TO BE MAINLY CONFINED TO AREAS NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER. .LONG TERM...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS EASTWARD OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BRINGING ALONG MORE HOT SUMMERTIME WEATHER, AND HIGHS WELL INTO THE MIDDLE--AND POSSIBLY UPPER--90S. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR THE PERIOD WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED TO JUST ISOLATED AFTERNOON ACTIVITY, WITH MOST AREAS PROBABLY SPENDING IT ON THE "DRY SIDE." && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
