989 FXUS64 KOHX 130200 AAA AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Nashville TN 900 PM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 900 PM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 Tweaked hourly temperature, dewpoint, sky condition, and wind direction/wind speed grids blending them with associated previously forecasted hourly late evening gridded values. Per analysis of current regional satellite imagery and latest HRRR sky cover forecast through tonight, slightly decreased cloud coverage tonight from generally partly cloudy skies to mostly clear skies remainder of evening hours tonight. Current regional temperature trends in line with forecasted overnight lows. KOHX 13/00Z Sounding showing despite warmup today, PWAT values are still only 0.77 inch which is in the 10 percentile range for PWAT values for today with riding influences surface and aloft prevailing. Remainder of forecast continues to be on track. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Thursday) Issued at 1026 AM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 A surface ridge is aligned just south of the Ohio Valley this morning, leaving Middle Tennessee with a dry, stable atmosphere. The ridge will gradually slide across the region during the next couple of days and we can expect summer-like heat to build over the mid state as a result. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday Night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1026 AM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 The forecast is rain-free through Sunday night. Of particular note is Sunday, when afternoon temperatures are expected to top out near 100 degrees, but we do expect enough moisture advection to lead to additional cloudiness and low POP`s beginning on Monday, and also slightly cooler temperatures. Perhaps "not as hot" would be more accurate, as the 6-10 day and 8-14 outlooks continue to favor above normal temperatures for Middle Tennessee. QPF totals for days 6-8 (nothing prior to day 6) are coming in under 1/4" across most of the mid state. So the rainy pattern that persisted throughout May and the first week of June has definitely shifted. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 622 PM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 VFR conditions continue this taf cycle. Winds are light and variable. IFR to LIFR fog will be possible overnight at SRB. Other areas should remain fog-free as the air is still quite dry. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
