The episode as NWS OHX wrote it up.
Scattered thunderstorms affected Middle Tennessee during the early morning hours on May 28. One business in Giles County was struck by lightning and destroyed by the ensuing fire.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 28, 1:38 AM CST, 47 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 238 AM CDT Sun May 28 2017 .DISCUSSION... Ongoing showers and thunderstorms look to continue through the morning hours. After that, things get a little interesting as again models are not too consistent with today's precip solutions. They do agree that the instability is less intense from yesterday's runs, so the severe threat looks to be less than what the mid state saw on Saturday. However, we are not out of the woods as MUCAPE values are still in the 1000-2000 J/kg range with 0-6km shear around 40-50 knots. Therefore, severe convection will remain possible, but convection from yesterday and ongoing showers tonight may work over some of the atmosphere and lessen the potential this afternoon/evening ahead of the front. A few short term models such as the HRRR keep the late morning and afternoon mainly dry until the front arrives, while other models have isolated/scattered convection during the afternoon. With the potential still there for strong to severe storms, and consensus showing scattered showers and storms, mainly kept Sunday with high chance pops during the day. Cold front looks to move through this evening and early overnight into Monday, which shows the instability to fall off pretty quickly, so the severe threat should come to an end after midnight. Chances for showers and storms will linger in the south and east Monday morning and afternoon, so have chance pops in those areas for Memorial Day. Most of the area should stay primarily dry with the front further to the south and east. Early part of Tuesday looks to be dry as well, however upper trough will still be to the north over the Great Lakes, and a few models show some minor shortwave activity around the region and may be enough for some afternoon convection. That will be a similar scenario for Wednesday as well since the upper low will begin to move eastward towards New England. Thursday and Friday will see effects from a new shortwave trough from the Plains, but mainly will impact the area Friday. Theres a chance that Thursday may be dry should models emphasize shortwave ridging before the trough arrives, and that will help mitigate shower and thunderstorm development. The shortwave looks to fizzle out, but another Great Lakes trough will impact the area for the weekend with a cold front that makes it to the southeast US, and becomes more stationary for the weekend. This looks to keep showers and thunderstorms in the forecast forming along the boundary through Sunday. && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF DISCUSSION. Not expecting any more tstms at terminals thru possibly 28/18Z with VFR ceilings BNA/CKV and MVFR ceilings CSV. Periods of light shwrs should transverse the mid state region thru 28/18Z with some dry conditions at terminals here and there anticipated. Next potential of sct/numerous shwrs/tstms looks to return to the mid state region after 28/18Z, but can not as of this point for certain predict they will impact terminals, but certainly can not rule out in vcnty either. Predominate VFR BNA/CKV and MVFR ceilings CSV should persist 28/18Z-29/02-03Z. After expected sfc frontal passage, some lingering light shwrs will occur behind this passage with a continuance of VFR BNA/CKV and MVFR ceilings thru 29/06Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
