554 FXUS64 KOHX 150401 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1101 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1101 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 - Afternoon and evening thunderstorms will continue through the week. - Although the severe weather risk is low, heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and frequent lightning will be possible. - Warming trend will take place this week as many locations will near or surpass 100F for heat indicies. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Wednesday Night) Issued at 1101 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 A summer like pattern has been set up over Middle TN and it looks to stick around for awhile. We have weak zonal flow over the northern US and this will keep much of the same weather for our area. Patchy fog will be possible tonight especially for areas that saw rainfall today. Then we will once again see scattered showers and thunderstorms develop in the afternoon and continue into the early evening. CAMs are showing activity a little less widespread tomorrow with the better chances staying to our north but still plan on hit and miss storms in the afternoon. It will be a high CAPE low shear environment. The threat for severe storms will be low but can`t rule out gusty winds with any of the stronger updrafts. PWATs will remain high in the 1.60-2.0" range. Given the slow storm motion and high PWATs localized flash flooding will be possible with any of the strong longer lasting cells. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s with dew points in the mid 70s, this will push afternoon heat index values to around or just above 100. Mainly dry conditions Tuesday night with lows once again in the low to mid 70s. Not a lot of change in the forecast for Wednesday. We will once again see scattered afternoon and early evening thunderstorms. Similar to Tuesday the severe threat will be low but heavy rain and maybe some gusty winds with any of the stronger cells. Highs in the low to mid 90s with afternoon heat index values between 100 and 105. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Tuesday) Issued at 1101 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 As we head into the extended part of the forecast we will see very little change. Summer like conditions remain in place. Daily afternoon showers and thunderstorms will continue into the weekend and next week. Weak troughing will develop over eastern Canada over the weekend and that will help to bring some lower heights and maybe knock a few degrees off of our highs, instead of low to mid 90s we will see upper 80s to lower 90s. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 632 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 TS and SH should continue to dissipate this evening, but will continue to monitor activity in western TN and amend as needed. Winds will be light and variable overnight, with some FG possible once again at CSV and SRB. More pop-up showers and thunderstorms are expected tomorrow, but confidence in location is low so left them out of the TAF for now. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
