AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 323 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014 .DISCUSSION... HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES...LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SRN PLAINS AND SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THAT ARE KEEPING THE MAIN SFC BOUNDARY RATHER STATIONARY ACROSS SRN MIDDLE TN. AN MCS OVER ERN AR SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING OR DIVERTING ITS EASTWARD TRACK ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. HOWEVER...ALL HI-RES MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS WILL WEAKEN DRAMATICALLY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH THE HRRR SHOWING THE BEST ANALYSIS. WE STILL HAVE AMPLE INSTABILITY OVERHEAD THOUGH. SHOULD THE MCS MAKE IT INTO MIDDLE TN...ANY STORM WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. WILL CONTINUE POPS WITH THE HIGHEST OVER OUR SWRN COUNTIES THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE LOWERING POPS OVERNIGHT. WILL ALSO KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING THROUGH ITS MIDNIGHT EXPIRATION TIME IN CASE OUR SW GETS CLIPPED BY THE MCS'S HEAVY RAINFALL. OVERNIGHT ANOTHER MCS SHOULD DEVELOP OVER THE PLAINS AND MOVE MORE ENE THIS TIME. THIS ALONG WITH THE PESKY SFC BOUNDARY STILL AROUND...WE SHOULD HAVE MORE OF A FOCUS FOR STORMS SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WITH PERHAPS THE BEST CHC BEING LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN MORN. AT THIS TIME...SEVERE WEATHER DOES NOT APPEAR LIKELY...BUT SHOULD AN MCS CONTINUE OR REDEVELOP...STRONG WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAIN WOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH ANY STORMS ALONG THE FRONT EXTENDING DOWN FROM THE MCS. THIS FRONT WILL LAY OUT ACROSS MIDDLE TN...PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE CONVECTION SETS UP THIS WEEKEND...OUR SWRN COUNTIES WOULD NEED ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD WATCH SHOULD THE FOCUS REMAIN IN THAT AREA. BUT THINK THAT DIFFERENT AREAS MAY SEE HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THUS BEING A GOOD BREAK FROM PERSISTENT FLOODING RAINS THAT OUR SWRN COUNTIES HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE PAST 36 HOURS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BUILD IN BRIEFLY BEHIND SUNDAY'S SYSTEM...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF WEATHER MON-WED. A STRONGER UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE SRN PLAINS MONDAY...AND SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES BY THURSDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE A GOOD CHC FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH THE BEST CHC OCCURRING TUESDAY AS IT APPEARS RIGHT NOW. COULD NOT QUITE GO LIKELY POPS AT THIS TIME...BUT HAVE HIGH CHC TUES-WED MORN WITH TAPERING POPS THEREAFTER.
