221 FXUS64 KOHX 050550 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1250 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday) Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024 Most of the earlier convection has either dissipated or exited Middle Tennessee, and we don`t expect much redevelopment until this afternoon. A surface boundary sits to our northwest and will swing across the mid state during the next several hours. This will enable an upper trough and associated surface low to rotate through the region later tonight and Monday. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024 The weather pattern for the upcoming week is a series of troughs and surface boundaries. So we will keep relatively high PoPs through Thursday night, with a strong cold front coming through at that time and hopefully bringing us cooler, drier weather just in time for the weekend. Of particular interest is Tuesday and Wednesday, when instability looks to be greatest. If we were to experience any severe storms this week, it would likely be those two days. Temperatures will remain above normal through Thursday, with more seasonal readings returning on Friday and staying put at least through Sunday. Cumulative QPF values from today through Friday range from 2-3" most areas, with some spots near the TN/KY state line potentially looking at 3+ inches. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1232 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024 Mainly VFR conditions are expected for this TAF cycle, but with small dew point depressions and light winds, MVFR fog is possible shortly before sunrise. More TS will move in tomorrow evening and likely affect CKV/BNA/MQY before 05Z. Winds will be light and mainly southwesterly. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
