003 FXUS64 KOHX 091658 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1158 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1154 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 - Rain and storm chances will become more widespread this afternoon. The overall severe threat this week and weekend remains low. - Localized flash flooding, frequent lightning, and gusty winds will be possible with any storms this week. - Expect warm and humid conditions for the foreseeable future, but excessive heat won`t be a factor anytime soon. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Thursday) Issued at 1139 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 A weak surface boundary and upper tough are situated to the northwest of Middle Tennessee this morning. Already, the air mass across the mid state is plenty unstable, with Precipitable Water values also above the 90th percentile climatologically. So the interaction between these mesoscale features and the moist and unstable environment will produce medium to high rain and storm chances this afternoon and early evening. With the upper trough coming through overnight, our rain and storm chances will drop off some tomorrow, but we`ll still see some convective activity tomorrow, most notably along the Cumberland Plateau. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday Night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1139 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 Mainly daytime rain and storms are going to be a fixture in the forecast for the foreseeable future, as the current air mass stays with us. PoPs will increase again somewhat this weekend and early next week as a series of weak shortwaves comes through Middle Tennessee. Temperatures will start to build back up as we head into the weekend and early next week, but excessive heat won`t be a factor anytime soon. At this time, the risk of any hazardous weather throughout the next 7 days is very low. The worst we anticipate is the occasional strong thunderstorm and heat indices climbing back into the low 100s beginning on Saturday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1154 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 Scattered showers and thunderstorms will impact the area this afternoon. Direct impacts to terminals may result in MVFR cigs and visibilities, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. Storm coverage will taper off around 00Z, but MVFR to IFR cigs along with patchy fog will build back into the area overnight with conditions slow to improve Thursday morning. Another round of scattered storms is expected Thursday afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
