703 FXUS64 KOHX 010524 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1224 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 735 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 As of 730 PM CDT, it remained quite muggy across the Mid State. Radar was not showing much, but there were a few isolated lingering showers across the Plateau and southern counties. A few more showers could continue to bubble up for our southern and eastern areas over the next 2 or 3 hours until the main dew point front completely passes. That dew point boundary recently moved through Clarksville where dew points have dropped off 8 degrees from the afternoon. This boundary will move through Nashville Metro very soon and on through the rest of the area by late evening. This frontal passage will set us up for a marvelous Monday- one wonderful day with cooler than normal high temps and refreshingly low humidity levels. One day only! Get out and enjoy it if you can. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 After seeing some morning thunderstorms that brought heavy rain to parts of the area we are overall seeing quiet weather and a break in the activity. Dew points are in the mid to upper 70s making it feel very humid, highs this afternoon will make it into the upper 80s north and lower 90s south. A cold front is sitting just to our north over KY and this will push south this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of this front and that is what we can expect for the afternoon with the best chances to the east of I-65. The atmosphere will recover and we will see plenty of CAPE this afternoon. Shear will be on the low side and lapse rates could be better, this will limit severe weather but still can`t rule out some gusty winds with any of the stronger cells. The bigger impact will be heavy rain, PWATs are as highs as 2.30". Storm motion this morning was parallel to the front and we saw some training, thankfully storm motions has shifted more southeast and this should limit training storms over the same area but with the highs PWATs we still could see some localized flooding with thunderstorms. Thunderstorm chances will diminish by 7-8 PM this evening and then we will see much cooler direr air build in behind the front overnight. Lows tonight will fall into the mid 50s to lower 60s with dew points falling into the 50s by daybreak. We will then see a great day on Monday with highs in the 80s and very comfortable dew points. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1145 AM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 Unfortunately our cooler and comfortable weather won`t last as upper level ridging will start to build back in over the region. This will warm things back up into the 90s on Tuesday and highs will stay in the low to mid 90s through the rest of the week. We will also see very warm overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s, this will bring little to no relief to those without air conditioning. The high will be slightly off to our east starting Wednesday and this will push high dew points into the region and it will feel very humid with dew points above 70. A popup afternoon storm will be possible on Wednesday but chances look low. We will start to see slightly better chances for mainly afternoon thunderstorms Thursday and Friday as troughing develops over the Great Lakes pushing a stationary boundary to our north. Forcing still doesn`t look great in our area but should be enough to kick some stuff off. This front may push south through the area early next weekend and that would bring slight cooling. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1220 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2024 TAFs are VFR. High pressure is currently building in from the north following yesterdays fropa. Winds will stay up a few knots owing to a relatively strong pressure gradient. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
