The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 12:05 PM CST, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 105 PM CDT THU JUN 13 2013 .UPDATE...FOR 18Z TAFS... && .AVIATION... A FROPA WILL BRING SHOWERS, THUNDERSTORMS, AND GUSTY WINDS TO BNA AND CSV THIS AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE AT BNA AROUND 20Z WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES THROUGHOUT THE EVENING...AND AT CSV AROUND 21Z. THE CHANCE OF ANY PRECIP AT CKV REMAINS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS. AFTER 00Z EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL SITES AS RIDGING MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 652 AM CDT THU JUN 13 2013/ UPDATE...FOR 12Z TAFS... AVIATION... A COOL FRONT IS QUICKLY APPROACHING MIDDLE TN FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY. WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING...GUSTY WSW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE UNTIL THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WHERE WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO THE NW THEREAFTER. THE FRONT SHOULD PASS THROUGH CKV BY AROUND 17Z...BNA BY 19Z...CSV BY 22Z. THINK THAT MAYBE A SHOWER COULD POP UP AROUND CKV...BUT THE BETTER CHC FOR A VCSH/VCTS WILL BE AT CSV WHERE A TEMPO WAS INCLUDED FOR IFR VSBYS/MVFR CIGS FROM TSRA. FOR BNA IN BETWEEN...JUST HAVE A VCTS MENTIONED AROUND MIDDAY-EARLY AFTERNOON. SKIES WILL SLOWLY CLEAR FROM NW TO SE BEHIND THE FROPA AS WINDS VEER AROUND TO THE NNE BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WITH A STEADY NNE WIND OVERNIGHT...WOULD NOT EXPECT TO SEE ANY KIND OF FOG FOR LATE IN THIS TAF PERIOD SO VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD OCCUR TOWARD 12Z FRIDAY. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 242 AM CDT THU JUN 13 2013/ DISCUSSION...SITTING HERE WATCHING THIS MASSIVE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER OHIO, WITH A VERY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER MIDDLE TENNESSEE, BUT NOTHING ON RADAR HERE. LATEST LAPS SOUNDING FOR BNA SHOWS A LIFTED INDEX OF -8.8 AND A CAPE OF 4469 J/KG. ATMOSPHERE REMAINS A LITTLE DRY, BUT K-INDEX IS UP TO 27 AT THIS HOUR. LOW CENTER JUST SOUTH OF THE GREAT LAKES WILL CONTINUE ITS EASTWARD TRACK TODAY, BUT WILL ALSO DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE. MOISTURE ISN'T VERY DEEP, AND BOTH THE NAM AND GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS DEVELOP A STRONG ELEVATED INVERSION THAT WILL MORE OR LESS PUT THE KIBOSH ON CONVECTION LATER IN THE DAY. SCATTERED STORMS WILL NO DOUBT DEVELOP THIS MORNING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH, BUT THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE IN AREAS EAST AND SOUTH OF NASHVILLE, WHERE THE MOISTURE WILL BE SOMEWHAT DEEPER. THE SPC'S DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK ALSO PLACES THIS REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER. LOOK FOR COOLER, DRIER AIR TO FILTER IN BEHIND THE FRONT, DROPPING TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND KEEPING RAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST AS A STRONG RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. EXPECT THE RIDGE TO FLATTEN OUT BY THE FIRST OF THE WEEK, ALLOWING THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TO SLIP THROUGH. THE SHORTWAVE WILL MANIFEST ITSELF AT THE SURFACE IN THE FORM OF A QUASI-STATIONARY, EAST-WEST ORIENTED FRONT THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SETTLE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND KEEP SCATTERED CONVECTION IN OUR FORECAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 11
