Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 637 PM CDT Tue Jul 2 2019 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Scattered showers and t'storms have developed along the I-65 corridor through much of our area as we transition into the afternoon hours. These showers/t'storms have helped to keep temperatures at bay, although it is still pretty warm in some areas. These storms will begin to lose their punch once the sun goes down this evening, as they are predominately diurnally driven. Tomorrow and the 4th of July appear to be a hair cooler than today with even more scattered shower and t'storm coverage. As we look at Independence Day, while it won't be all sunshine, it won't be all rain either. Scattered showers and t'storms, diurnally driven of course, will develop in the afternoon hours before weakening after sunset. This is good news for those with evening plans as showers/t'storms should be making their way out for any mid-evening plans. Beginning Friday through this weekend we will begin to experience even more shower and thunderstorm coverage across the area. Have chance to likely PoP for those east of I-24 both Friday and Saturday and wouldn't be surprised if those PoPs increase tomorrow as models continue to trend upward. Saturday evening there appears to be a shortwave that will move through the area, although severe weather doesn't look all that likely. Any thunderstorm that develops this weekend could have the occasional wind gust, but severe weather parameters don't appear to be coming together. With these additional showers/t'storms, our temperatures will come back down to near/just above average with temps right around the upper 80s to near 90 this weekend. By next week, it appears that we will return to the typical summertime pattern with more diurnally driven conditions. Temps will remain near to just above normal through the weekend before potentially warming a bit more next week. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. VFR conditions are expected overnight with BR included for a few hours during sunrise. VIS may be marginally impacted by BR through 13-14z at the terminals. Otherwise, expect VCTS to be around during the afternoon and early evening...with possible TS lowering VIS/CIGs at a terminal or two. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......MacDonald AVIATION........Schaper
