AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 1231 PM CDT FRI JUN 25 2010 .UPDATE...FOR AVIATION. && .AVIATION...18Z TAFS. A FRONTAL ZONE WILL HELP INITIATE SCATTERED TSRA MAINLY SOUTH TN TODAY. CONFIDENCE FOR LOCAL IMPACTS TOO LOW...SO JUST INCLUDING CB CLOUDS FOR BNA AND VCTS FOR CSV. CLEARING TONIGHT...BUT LIGHT WIND AND MUGGY AIR WILL RESULT IN MVFR FOG AROUND DAYBREAK SATURDAY. FOG WILL LIFT TO SCATTERED CU ON SATURDAY AS SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASE SLIGHTLY NEAR 5 KT. 13 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 942 AM CDT FRI JUN 25 2010/ UPDATE... AS OF 14Z...SCT CU BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ALONG WITH SOME PATCHES OF AC ACROSS MIDDLE TN. TEMPS AROUND 80...DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S...WITH LIGHT EAST TO CALM WINDS. STATIONARY FRONT POSITIONED ACROSS WEST TO EAST FROM NORTHERN MS TO NORTHERN AL TO NORTHERN GA. FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH...AS A WARM FRONT...AND BE POSITIONED WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE MIDSTATE...GENERALLY ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 12Z KOHX SOUNDING SHOWING PRECIP WATER VALUES AROUND 1.80 INCHES...LI'S AROUND -6...AND CAPE VALUES AROUND 3000 J/KG. THESE VALUES ALSO SUPPORTED BY 14Z LAPS/MSAS VALUES. WHEN DIURNAL HEATING INFLUENCES START TO KICK IN ACROSS MUCH OF THE MID STATE LATER THIS MORNING...AND FRONT BEGINS ITS PROGRESSION SLOWLY NORTH...EXPECT SCT SHWRS/TSTMS TO DEVELOP... WITH A FEW TSTMS REACHING STRONG TO SEVERE THRESHOLDS...AS STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS. 14Z TEMPS RUNNING IN LINE WITH FORECASTED HIGH VALUES. SO THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS...WILL NOT CHANGE CURRENT FORECAST AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...DEPENDING ON AREAL COVERAGE OF SHWRS/TSTMS...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I-40...MAY RAISE POPS LATER THIS MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON TO REFLECT CONDITIONS AT THAT TIME. 31 && PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 208 AM CDT FRI JUN 25 2010/ DISCUSSION...SURFACE MAP AT 07Z SHOWS A WEAK BOUNDARY LYING ACROSS SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE WITH MAINLY MIDDLE AND HIGH CLOUDS STILL STREAMING ACROSS THE MID STATE. WITH THE PRESENCE OF THIS BOUNDARY AND CONTINUED WARM, HUMID WEATHER, HAVE GONE ABOVE GUIDANCE TODAY FOR POP'S, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH, WHERE WE WILL STILL SEE ISOLATED OR WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION. HOWEVER, BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS REMAINS IN AREAS SOUTH OF NASHVILLE. HAVE ALSO UNDERCUT MOS TEMPERATURES A COUPLE OF DEGREES TODAY, GIVEN THE CLOUDS AND THE FACT THAT, AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTH, SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL WORK THEIR WAY INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE, ALTHOUGH WE'RE TALKING LOWER 90'S VS. MID 90'S MOST AREAS, SO IT WILL STILL BE HOT. HOT WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND, AS TEMPERATURES QUICKLY REBOUND BACK INTO THE MID 90'S MOST AREAS, WITH CONTINUED ISOLATED-TO-SCATTERED CONVECTION, MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS, AS SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY REMAINS HIGH AND MOISTURE REMAINS PLENTIFUL. GFS CONTINUES TO BRING A COLD FRONT INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE MONDAY AFTERNOON, AND THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE MONDAY NIGHT. THIS LOOKS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT WEATHER-CHANGER, AS WE ACTUALLY GET AN ACCOMPANYING UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE, AND NOT JUST A LOW-LEVEL FRONTAL PASSAGE. THUS, AM NOT EXPECTING ANY ACTIVE WEATHER PAST TUESDAY, WITH MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES COMING IN, ALONG WITH MUCH LOWER DEW POINTS. ROSE && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. &&
