AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
157 PM CDT SAT MAY 18 2013

.DISCUSSION...SCATTERED CONVECTION GOING ON EAST OF NASHVILLE THIS
AFTERNOON WHERE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS MOST ABUNDANT. UPPER
TROUGH REMAINS STALLED OUT JUST TO OUR EAST, SO LOOK FOR THIS
PATTERN TO PERSIST AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE AND THE
ATMOSPHERE REMAINS AT LEAST MODERATELY UNSTABLE. LOOK FOR THE MID
STATE TO FINALLY DRY OUT SUNDAY NIGHT, WITH THE UPPER RIDGE MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY, THEREBY PAVING THE WAY FOR THE NEXT
ACTIVE WEATHER SYSTEM TO CLOSE IN ON MIDDLE TENNESSEE TOWARD THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT DROP-OFF IN
TEMPERATURES FOLLOWING THIS COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE, BUT EVEN OUR
POST-FRONTAL READINGS LATE IN THE WEEK WON`T BE TOO FAR OFF
SEASONAL NORMALS. AT THIS TIME, THE SPC HAS NO SEVERE WEATHER RISK
AREAS PEGGED FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH DAY 8, SO WE ARE
EXPECTING GENERAL THUNDERSTORMS ONLY.
