NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 26, 11:29 AM CST, 16 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1229 PM CDT Sun Mar 26 2017 .UPDATE... FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Quick update this morning to adjust to current obs and radar trends. Upper low is working its way out of the region towards the Great Lakes, which will decrease precip chances as the day progresses. Precip will mainly be confined to areas east of I-65 this morning, and the Plateau during the afternoon. Left in mention of isolated thunder out east since models keep small amounts of instability over that area this afternoon. Some lingering isolated showers/sprinkles may impact other areas around the mid state this morning and early afternoon as well. Updated pops and temps slightly to match, otherwise, no other changes to the forecast today. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. Conditions look to improve to VFR this afternoon as the upper low continues to work its way out of the region to the northeast. KCSV will likely see MVFR/IFR cigs the longest, but model consensus has VFR cigs by mid afternoon. Current satellite trends and upstream obs has MVFR cigs, but hopefully increasing winds can help mix out the low levels and allow for VFR cigs at all terminals this afternoon. Conditions look to remain VFR overnight, however fog will be a possiblity at all terminals after 09Z through 13Z or so. KCSV has the highest chances for fog, but KCKV is not far behind. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will move in tomorrow morning, and increase in coverage later in the afternoon. Put in mention of VCSH for now at KBNA and KCKV until more certainty on timing with later model runs. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......Barnwell AVIATION........Barnwell
