Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 636 PM CDT FRI JUN 3 2016 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Just like yesterday at this time, have broken out a late afternoon grouping in the zone forecast product to deal with scattered areal coverage of showers and thunderstorms this evening. Still, anyway you look at it, this pattern still looks like it will continue to support mainly late morning to early evening diurnal driven isolated to scattered light to moderate showers, with orographic influences, local effects, possible weak disturbances moving through the upper level pattern, and outflow boundaries from previous convection all playing a role in locational development of showers and thunderstorms. Some weak surface frontal passages may also occur, with the pesky upper level low across the srn plains of TX providing the moisture associated with the upper level pattern. For tonight, will keep a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms across most of the mid state, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms across the Tennessee River Valley Region, where the best moisture availability is. As for this weekend, looks like the best chance of showers and thunderstorms still looks to be Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening, and believe that numerous mainly moderate showers and thunderstorms will be in store. Finally, a long wave upper level trough will push this moisture rich and humid air mass system eastward as Sunday progresses. Temps will slowly fall to around seasonal normal values by Saturday and into Sunday as increasing moisture and cloud coverage is expected across the area. There may be some locally heavy rainfall here and there to with the stronger showers and thunderstorms, but on average, total rainfall amounts will range generally from 1.25 inches to 1.5 inches thru Sunday. High pressure influences from the Upper Midwest, along with dry nwly flow aloft, will build into the region providing very pleasant, dry, with generally mostly clear sky conditions, type of a weather pattern to the mid state region Sunday night through the majority of the upcoming work week. Temps will be near seasonal normal values thru the vast majority of this period before broad strong upper level ridging influences build into the mid state late in the work week into the upcoming weekend with temps then expected to rise into the upper 80s to lower 90s by the end of the work week. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. Strong upper trough axis is currently positioned from east TX northward through the upper Midwest. This feature will shift slightly toward the east by tomorrow at this time. Additionally, sfc cyclogenesis will pick up as the sfc low moves from the northern Plains eastward across the Midwest. This will all spell an increase in convection, with time, as we move forward through this taf pd. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......Barnwell AVIATION........21
