Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 137 PM CDT Thu Jun 2 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Saturday Night) Issued at 134 PM CDT Thu Jun 2 2022 Frontal boundary is pushing across the Plateau at this time with a few showers and tstms across that area. Convective temps are close to being reached elsewhere and we are beginning to see some isolated development. This trend will continue through the mid and late afternoon hours before the activity diminishes. A surface high will begin to build in tonight and through Friday. Other than some patchy fog across the Plateau early on Friday, we should have very nice and dry weather through Friday and on into Saturday. High temperatures will be near seasonal but look for humidity levels and low temps to run below normal. Overnight lows will range from the mid 50s to lower 60s. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 134 PM CDT Thu Jun 2 2022 A return southerly flow will begin to bring humidity back in across the area on Sunday and Monday. Then, the weather pattern will begin to turn more active. A frontal boundary will move slowly southward and basically stall near our area. Upper level pattern looks quasi-zonal and somewhat active with impulses traversing the area from west to east. Thus, shower and tstm chances will return through much of the extended. For temps, its looking above normal. Despite the close proximity of the aforementioned frontal boundary, model low level winds appear to be mostly southerly. So, warmth and humidity will accompany the chances of convection. && .AVIATION...
