Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 555 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... A few echoes are starting to pop up on radar this afternoon around the area, and models suggest that activity will become more scattered for the late afternoon and early evening. CAMs hinted at additional convection starting this afternoon with this morning's runs ahead of an upper shortwave and existing convection in MO. Even though shear is quite weak, enough instability and dry air exist for some of the developing storms to produce some damaging wind gusts. However, this activity looks to be confined to the northwest zones late this afternoon and early evening before diurnal support drops around and after sunset. Increased pops slightly in the northwest as models try to line up better on timing and coverage of potential convection this evening. We begin to settle into a normal summertime upper level pattern for most of the forecast as upper waves move through to our north and may have an impact over our area when lining up with diurnal trends. Mainly have isolated/schc pops in the afternoon/evening timeframe each day, with drier conditions during the overnight and morning hours. With temperatures holding out in the low to even mid 90s for highs through next week, it won't take much to kick off a few showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Even with upper high pressure moving in by Tuesday next week, subtle disturbances showing up within the ridge look to be enough to keep pops in the forecast. Even way out in the extended after next Wednesday, no long term models hint at a stronger trough or better shot at precip. So, it appears that we will have this summertime highs in the low 90s/lows in the low 70s with chances for afternoon thunderstorms into the holiday weekend next week. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. A mid and upper level trough axis will remain camped out across the western portion of the taf area through the period. This will act to spawn a few tstms off and on over the next 24 hrs. Other than vcts coverage, a prob 30 will be utilized at BNA and CKV for Thu afternoon. As for fog potential, tover values have dropped some over the last 2 hrs. Numerical guidance also suggests light fog late tonight, except vsbys could drop as low as 2sm near csv. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......07 AVIATION........21
