Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 316 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday Night) Issued at 316 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 Unfortunately still "karaoke singing the same song again and again" when it comes to hot and humid conditions across mid state region, not just through Wednesday night, but at least through Friday afternoon also. Mainly scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop during late morning and last into the early evening hours. As this is summertime across mid state region, some of those thunderstorms of course could reach strong to even severe thresholds with gusty to damaging winds and brief heavy rainfall. Looks like the best track for storm development to be across northwestern portions of mid state region around periphery of upper level ridging influences, especially as Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night progresses. There maybe some isolated locations that approach around the 110 degree heat index value threshold, but not widespread enough to support issuance of a heat warning for a portion(s) of our area. Lows tonight and Wednesday night will be in low to mid 70s with highs on Wednesday mid to upper 90s, upper 80s to lower 90s Cumberland Plateau Region. I will state again like I did this time yesterday, with these hot and humid conditions and muggy nights, please exercise caution while outdoors and take appropriate heat safety measures and precautions, be sure you are well hydrated, and stay in an air condition building from late morning through early evening hours if at all possible. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Tuesday) Issued at 316 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 Just a repeat of the above for the Thursday through Friday evening time period as it comes to hot and humid conditions with some temporary relief from those provided by mainly scattered showers and thunderstorms. Afternoon highs once again in mid to upper 90s, upper 80s to lower 90s Cumberland Plateau Region with lows Thursday night once again mainly in the mid to upper 70s. Just like I said this time yesterday also, please be sure to remember the following: Continue exercising caution while outdoors and take appropriate heat safety measures and precautions, and be sure you are well hydrated. Additional things to remember during this prolonged excessive heat event include remembering to check on the elderly, homeless, and your outside pets also. Always check the back seat of your vehicle to be sure it is empty of any passengers before leaving/locking it and rolling up all the windows also. It looks like northwesterly flow will develop as Friday night into Saturday progresses with a surface front working itself finally into mid state region on Saturday providing a better chance of showers and thunderstorms with "cooler high temperatures" in upper 80s to lower 90s, mid 80s Cumberland Plateau Region. Lows will actually "bottom out" near seasonal normal values generally ranging in mid to upper 60s. This surface front should shift southwestward with time with potentially slightly cooler temperatures expected on Sunday with decreasing rain chances. It looks like it will be dry across mid state region Sunday night through Monday night, but those temperatures will be creeping up again along with humidity levels as warm moist air starts to return once again and become established across our area with a return of shower and thunderstorm chances also. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1255 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2022 Scattered showers and storms will continue throughout the afternoon, then decrease in coverage this evening. Winds may briefly gust as storms pass near terminals, but for the most part winds will be light and out of the west. Some pockets of low cumulus will develop throughout the afternoon but skies are expected to remain VFR. High clouds will continue into tonight and Wednesday morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
