AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 1243 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011 .UPDATE...FOR 18Z TAFS. && .AVIATION... A SECOND MCS WAS MOVING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST PART OF MIDDLE TN AT 1730Z. STILL NO SIGNS OF WARMING ON IR SATL PICS SO EXPECT THIS MCS TO CONTINUE MOVING SSEWD FOR NEXT COUPLE/FEW HOURS BEFORE LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE LEADING LINE OF TSTMS HAS PASSED KBNA SO JUST SOME SHRA THERE FOR NEXT COUPLE HOURS. MCS SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF KCSV BUT STILL A CHANCE FOR TSTMS TO REDEVELOP IN THAT REGION. HOWEVER...AIRMASS MAY BE RAIN COOLED ENOUGH FROM THE PREVIOUS MCS TO PREVENT TOO MUCH CONVECTION. CONVECTIVE CLOUDS AT BOTH SITES SHOULD END EARLY THIS EVENING. NW FLOW STORM THREAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO LINGER FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE DAY THAN EXPECTED...AND MODELS HINT AT SOME CHANCE FOR ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW MORNING. MAIN PATH SHOULD BE FURTHER EAST AS H5 RIDGE BUILDS SO THREAT IS HIGHER AT KCSV THAN AT KBNA. LV && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1052 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011/ UPDATE... OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLY MORNING MCS HAS MOVED SOUTHWARD THRU ALL OF MIDDLE TN PER VISIBLE SATL AND KHTX 88D AND WAS NEAR A LINE FROM JACKSON TO SAVANNAH TO HUNTSVILLE AT 15Z. THE OUTFLOW WAS STILL MOVING SOUTH ALONG ITS ALABAMA PORTION BUT THE WEST TN PORTION WAS NEARLY STATIONARY. SECOND MCS DEVELOPED THIS MORNING ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE ORIGINAL MCS. IT MOVED FROM SRN IL THRU SW KY...AND AT 15Z WAS MOVING INTO NW TN INCLUDING SEVERAL COUNTIES IN NW MIDDLE TN. 15Z IR SATL PICS DO NOT INDICATE ANY WARMING SO BELIEVE THIS COMPLEX WILL CONINTUE MOVING SSEWD AND IMPACT THE NW 1/3 TO 1/2 OF MIDDLE TN WITH SOME VERY HEAVY RAINS BEFORE IT WEAKENS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. STILL A CHANCE FOR NEW STORMS TO DEVELOP MID/LATE THIS AFTERNOON GENERALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE SECOND MCS. HOWEVER...EVEN THOSE AREAS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY RAIN COOLED TO PREVENT WIDESPREAD REDEVELOPMENT. ADJUSTED MOST FIRST PERIOD GRIDS...ESPECIALLY POPS/TEMPS/WX...IN FORECAST PACKAGE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED. LV PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 643 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011/ UPDATE...FOR 26/12Z AVIATION FORECAST AVIATION... LEADING EDGE OF COMPLEX HAS PUSHED SOUTH OF BNA AIRPORT AND IS JUST ABOUT TO MOVE INTO CSV. BASICALLY HAVE SHOWERS AND A FEW TSTMS UNTIL ABOUT 26/16Z AT BNA AND UNTIL ABOUT 26/17Z AT CSV. RAIN SHIELD EXTENDS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE OHIO RIVER SO NOT ALOT OF CONFIDENCE ON TIMING IN THE CESSATION OF SHOWERS/TSTMS AT EITHER LOCATION. ALSO EXPECT REDEVELOPMENT TO TAKE PLACE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BOYD PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 325 AM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011/ DISCUSSION... SFC BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO MEANDER AROUND THE MID-SOUTH AND HAS NOW MOVED JUST NORTH OF THE TN/KY BORDER. NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES AT MLS WHICH CONTINUES TO BRING COMPLEX DOWN INTO KY THIS MORNING. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTH TODAY SETTING UP ACROSS NORTHERN KY TOWARD 00Z. COMPLEX WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH THIS MORNING BUT SHORT FUSE MODELS SHOW IT WEAKENING SOME EARLY. EVEN IF THIS HAPPENS IT WILL LIKELY REFIRE LATER ON OUTFLOWS AS AIRMASS PLENTIFUL WITH INSTABILITY/ENERGY. HAVE RAISED POPS ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NORTHERN KY VICINITY TONIGHT BUT TAKE OFF NORTH ON MONDAY AS SFC LOW MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND A SECONDARY FORMS DOWN ACROSS TX. MEANWHILE RIDGE ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN SOME...LIMITING CONVECTION. STORMS MAY REMAIN SCT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST MONDAY BUT WILL BE ISO ELSEWHERE. COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH GREAT LAKES/PLAINS LOWS GET BIG PUSH MONDAY NIGHT FROM TRAILING ML/UL TROUGHS...AND EVENTUALLY PUSHES DOWN INTO THE MID-STATE ON TUESDAY. SHWRS/STORMS WILL BECOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD TUESDAY LATE MORNING AS UVV/INSTABILITY BECOMES ENHANCED AHEAD OF BOUNDARY. FRONT DROPS SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT FROM STRONG SFC/LL GREAT LAKES HIGH AND PASSING UPPER TROUGHS. GOOD DRYING OCCURS AS THIS HAPPENS AND AIRMASS REMAINS DRIER INTO LATE FRIDAY AS SFC HIGH/UPPER RIDGES TAKE OVER. NO POPS PLANNED WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY. A WEAK BOUNDARY WILL BRING SMALL POPS BACK INTO THE FOLD SATURDAY. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
