Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 623 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Monday Night) Issued at 213 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 Upper high is centered over the lower MS valley this afternoon. A weak disturbance is moving southward toward our Plateau at this time. Convection beginning to fire just north of Fentress and Pickett counties as well as along our northern Plateau. Movement is slowly to the southeast in response to the mean 700-500 mb flow. Instabilities are appreciable across our east with surface capes of 3000 plus j/kg and downdraft cape of 1000-1500. Forcing and shear looks rather weak. Nonetheless, a marginal risk has been placed across our east for wind potential. Moving on, a much better chance of convection will occur on Sunday afternoon and evening as a cold front meets up with the 90+ temperatures. All parameters, with the exception of shear, look reasonably good for strong to severe wind potential. Timing of this threat is from midday and through the afternoon. A marginal risk is now in place across the entire mid state. Residual showers will end early across the Plateau on Monday with relatively cooler and drier air working in. For our short term temps it will start out on the warm and muggy side with lows tonight in the 70s and highs on Sunday mostly in the lower to mid 90s. Not as hot on Monday with highs of only 80 to 85. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Saturday) Issued at 213 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 In the ext fcst, on Wednesday it will start out dry and on the cool side. Weak thermal troughing will actually locate across the KY TN area and extend southwestward into the lower MS valley. However, with no additional fropa expected through Saturday, the low level flow will return to a more southerly version and begin to bring the humidity back into the picture. Heights will be on the increase but westerlies will prevail and become a little more active with time. Favorable cape to cap ratios will resurface by Thursday and especially Friday. This all equates to generally low shower and tstm chances. Saturdays pops will actually reach 40% as a boundary sags our way from the north. For the extended temps, it will start off nice and in the 80s on Tuesday with lower humidity. Following this, look for a warming trend and it will quickly get back into the 90s for highs. Heat index values will also be on the upswing and will reach the 98F to 104F level to the west of the Plateau by Friday and Saturday. In regard to fighting off the developing drought, the 7 day gfs/euro areal averages look like a half inch in our northwest up to around 1 1/2 inches east. The 6 to 14 day precip outlook does look a little more encouraging with near to slightly above normal precip. So, hang in there everybody. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 614 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 In the near term, convection is occurring over parts of the Cumberland Plateau, so we'll be watching to see if anything develops near KCSV in the next couple of hours. Otherwise, look for VFR wx until tomorrow afternoon when a cold front looks to bring a line of storms through Middle Tennessee. Have staggered the event times from west to east according to the expected frontal positioning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
