Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 625 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2016 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Frontal boundary currently draped down through southern Illinois...far western Kentucky and then down through far western Middle Tennessee into northern Alabama. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are breaking out along this boundary and will work northeastward as go through the afternoon. Currently have pops in over the southwest half of the Mid State to cover this. As temps heat up this afternoon into the middle 90's expect to see heat indicies climb above 100 over the southwest half the Mid State with reading topping out around 104 in spotty locations. I don't see any push to that front overnight in my cwa as wind fields remain very weak so am expecting the front to basically remain insitu then on Sunday make its move eastward into eastern Tennessee and eastern Kentucky by afternoon. May need a pop first part of this evening over southwest half of Middle Tennessee but we could see isolated nocturnal thunderstorms try and develop overnight. Will wait and decide later on whether to include small pops overnight or not after a little collaboration. Mid state gets into a little juicer air mass Sunday into Monday so will include small pop for thunderstorms during the day Sunday and ramp pops up Sunday night into Monday as upper ridge backs off and retrogrades allowing for an upper trough to develop eastern U.S. which will allow for a noticeable cool down in our temps and dewpoints beginning by mid week and lasting into next weekend. Small rain chance on Tuesday with Wednesday and Thursday dry with shower and thunderstorm chances returning on Friday and continuing into next weekend. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. Mostly VFR conditions for this TAF cycle. The only curve ball will be some MVFR fog at KCSV after midnight. Winds will be light and variable to calm throughout, as well. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......01/Boyd AVIATION........Unger
