Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Nashville TN 1231 PM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 917 AM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 With the same warm, humid, and unstable air mass in place, showers and storms will once again blossom in the afternoon. The slow approach of a frontal zone from the Ohio Valley and falling heights with a mid level trough will add to the forcing, so coverage should be even greater than yesterday. "Almost everybody" will get some rain this afternoon and evening. As noted in the early morning discussion, precipitable water values will be around 2 inches through the day with weak shear and slow storm movement (east northeast 10-15mph). This will set the stage for efficient rainfall rates and possible localized flooding. Also, local gusty winds over 50mph will be possible with the strongest storms. As the surface boundary moves through our area Thursday, most of the showers and storms will focus south of I-40, then the rain will shut off by Friday as we begin to enjoy much less humid air. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 219 AM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 Rinse and repeat another day. Today looks very similar to yesterday except Pwat values are even higher. Values today look to max out around 2-2.1". Shear will remain weak today with minimal storm motion, so localized flooding will be a threat once again. In addition, enough CAPE will exist again for an isolated strong wind threat this afternoon. We will start seeing some movement in the upper air pattern as a trough digs southeastward out of the northern plains on Thursday. Ahead of this, a surface front will slowly push through the area on Thursday. Showers and storms can be expected ahead of the front. Shear will remain weak, so an organized severe threat is not expected with the frontal passage. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday Night through next Wednesday) Issued at 219 AM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 The shower and storm activity will cease Thursday night as drier air filters in from the north. Friday looks dry with dew points falling through the day. Highs should stay in the low to mid 80s areawide. Friday night will be the coolest night of the forecast with lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. The nice weather will continue through the weekend with pleasant humidity and tolerable temperatures. While still not bad, Sunday will see moisture and temperatures begin to creep up as the western upper high tries to expand eastward. As we move into next week, our area will be sandwiched between the upper high and the influences of the large eastern trough. A couple of disturbance could ride along the northwesterly upper flow triggering a few showers and storms on Monday and Tuesday. The latest runs of the Euro and GFS have another cold front sweep through the area late Tuesday bringing another reprieve from the heat and humidity on Wednesday. We'll keep our fingers crossed! && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1224 PM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 Another round of SHRA/TSRA/VCTS is expected to impact all terminals through at least 00Z. Within each TSRA, impacts to visibilities and ceilings can be expected. Once storm coverage decreases after 00Z, ceilings likely won't recover and MVFR and IFR ceilings can be expected through the overnight into the mid morning hours especially at KCSV, KCKV, and KMQY. Patchy fog could also impact these 3 terminals as well. Still think MVFR ceilings will be possible at KBNA as well but think VFR should return around 15Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
