AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 829 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014 .MESOSCALE UPDATE... LOOKING AT THE LATEST SHORT RANGE MODEL HOURLY GUIDANCE... BEST OVERALL MOISTURE...INSTABILITY...AND LIFTING MECHANISMS CONTINUE TO BE ACROSS SW PORTIONS OF THE MID STATE...WITH A MAX IN LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES ACROSS SW PORTIONS OF MID STATE ALSO APPROACHING THE TN/AL BORDER REGION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WAYNE COUNTY AT THIS TIME. && .PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 727 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/ UPDATE... HAVE UPDATED THE SUITE OF FORECAST PRODUCTS PER IMPLICATIONS OF TOR WATCH NUMBER 271. BEST OVERALL MOISTURE...INSTABILITY...AND LIFTING MECHANISMS CONTINUE TO BE ACROSS SW PORTIONS OF THE MID STATE AT THIS HOUR WITH THE BEST GRADIENT OF LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES NW TO SE ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF MID STATE ALSO. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 717 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/ UPDATE...FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. AVIATION...00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. NOT A LOT OF ADDITIONAL DETAILS IN THE AVIATION FORECAST PROVIDED FROM 10/06Z ONWARD DUE TO APPROACHING LINE OF SHWRS/TSTMS MOVING INTO THE MID STATE. BELIEVE BEST WINDOW FOR STRONG TO SVR CONVECTION TO INFLUENCE WX AT TAF SITES WILL BE UNTIL 10/02Z CKV...10/01Z-10/03Z BNA...10/03Z-10/05Z CKV...WITH VRB WIND GUSTS FROM 35 TO 45 KTS POSSIBLE WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND AND IFR VSBYS EXPECTED. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/ DISCUSSION... NEARBY MOISTURE DEPTH...IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH...HAS BEEN ON THE DECLINE THIS AFTERNOON. BOUNDARY...AS IS TYPICAL IN THE SUMMERTIME...IS DISPLAYED IN A RATHER QUASI- ESOTERIC NATURE. WE ARE GETTING SOUTHERLY WINDS ACROSS OUR SOUTH SO THE TREND DOES LEAN TOWARD A NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT. AT ANY RATE...CAPES HAVE BEEN HELD DOWN AND WITH THE COMBINATION OF LESS MOISTURE AND LESS INSTABILITY...THE RADAR IS ON THE INACTIVE SIDE RIGHT NOW. THIS WILL BE CHANGING TONIGHT HOWEVER. A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS IS OCCURRING FROM EASTERN AR SOUTHWARD THROUGH LOUISIANA. THIS IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH A RATHER POTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WHICH IS SLOWLY MOVING OUR WAY. SFC TROUGH STACKS RATHER NICELY WITH THIS FEATURE AND A DEEP MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW EXISTS OUT AHEAD OF IT. THUS...THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL REACH THE MID STATE BY LATE TONIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY. THERE IS A THREAT OF A FEW SEVERE TSTMS THIS EVENING ACROSS OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES...BUT THE THREAT WILL DIMINISH TO THE EAST AS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PRECIP SHIELD LOSES SOME OF ITS INTENSITY. WE ARE AGAIN IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE SHEAR LEVELS INCREASE. HOWEVER...IT LOOKS AS THOUGH LAPSE RATES AND CAPE PARAMETERS WILL BE ON THE UNIMPRESSIVE SIDE. BUT STILL...SOME DEGREE OF WIND THREAT IS IN PLACE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE MOIST GROUND WILL HELP TO WEAKEN TREE ROOT STRUCTURE AND THE WINDS MAY BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO BLOW DOWN MANY OF THE WEAKER TREES ACROSS THE AREA. OTHERWISE...AN ADDITIONAL FOCUS WILL BE THE FLOOD THREAT. THE WATCH CURRENTLY COVERS ROUGHLY OUR SOUTHWESTERN THIRD OF THE MID STATE. ACROSS THIS AREA...HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. LATEST FFG DOES SUPPORT RATHER LOW GUIDANCE. EVEN THOUGH EXPECTED AREAL AVERAGE QPF WILL BE BELOW GUIDANCE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED HEAVIER CONVECTIVE AREAS WILL BE UNDER THE GUN. THUS...THE FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE SUSTAINING OF A MULTI-TEMPORAL DEEP MOISTURE REGIME THROUGH THE ENTIRE WATCH WINDOW. IT MUST FURTHER BE STATED THAT THE SLOW NON PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE UPPER TROUGH TO OUR WEST COULD VERY WELL CAUSE FLOOD PROBLEMS WEST OF I-65. FOR NOW WE WILL KEEP THE WATCH WHERE IT IS...BUT AN EXPANSION EASTWARD CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. MOVING ON...UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL REACH THE MID STATE ON WEDNESDAY. INFLECTION POINT WILL QUICKLY FOLLOW AND WE WILL SEE A DOWNTREND AS FAR AS CONVECTION PROBABILITIES GO. AFTER THE LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS FOR TONIGHT AND THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...POPS WILL FALL OFF INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY ON WEDNESDAY AND SOME SLIGHT CHANCES WILL RETURN FOR WED NT. AS FOR THE SHORT TERM TEMPS...OVERNIGHT LOWS TOUGH TO BEAT...BUT I'LL UNDERCUT THE MAXES BY A DEGREE OR TWO. IN THE EXT FCST...UPPER RIDGING THROUGH BRIEF...WILL RETURN AND DRY THE SITUATION OUT A BIT ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THEN ANOTHER SHORTWAVE...ACCORDING TO THE GFS...WILL ATTEMPT TO TRAVERSE THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. EUROPEAN ATTEMPTS TO SHOW A SIMILAR PATTERN BUT LEANS TOWARD SLOWING IT DOWN AND CUTTING IT OFF JUST SOUTHEAST OF HERE. WILL OPT TO LEAN MORE TOWARD THE PROGRESSIVE GFS SOLUTION AND INCLUDE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS WEEKEND. THEN...AS UPPER RIDGING MAKES ANOTHER RUN AT US EARLY NEXT WEEK...WILL LEAN TOWARD A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK....ALONG WITH THE RETURN OF WARMER ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
