462 FXUS64 KOHX 141745 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1245 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1239 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... (Rest of today through Tuesday) Issued at 1054 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 Summertime continues. Temperatures are in the 80s at this hour with a few showers starting to show up. Storm coverage will increase as we move into the afternoon hours. There is a remnant MCV sitting in eastern Arkansas that will drift eastward. This could fire up some of the activity for the afternoon. In regards to severe storms, the threat will remain low but some gusty winds will be possible with the strongest cells. PWAT values remain 1.8-2" which will aid in some heavy rain. Outside of localized street flooding, the flash flood threat is low. Areas of patchy fog will develop again overnight. Tuesday looks pretty similar to today with diurnal showers and storms. Highs for today and tomorrow will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s. A couple locations may creep into the mid 90s on Tuesday depending on the how widespread storms are. If temperatures are able to get into the mid 90s on Tuesday, heat index values may exceed 105 degrees. I will not do a Heat Advisory because my confidence is not high enough of widespread values over 105. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through next Monday) Issued at 1054 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 The pattern is expected to remain pretty stagnant through the long term forecast. There is a low that will work eastward across the northern gulf, but that should stay far enough west of Middle Tennessee before it makes the northern turn inland to really affect our storm coverage. Expect the diurnally driven convection to continue with highs and lows around average. We`ll have to keep an eye on afternoon heat index values as they may get into the 105-110 range especially Wednesday through Friday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1239 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 Current observations across Middle TN airfields are VFR with light S to SW winds at ~5 kts. SCT cumulus with developing SHRA and TSRA is already occuring, and I`ve handled CKV/MQY with VCSH for now. Activity has dropped off somewhat near BNA, but will be watching activity moving in from the southwest over the coming hours. Otherwise, maintained PROB30s for TSRA during the late afternoon at all terminals minus CKV (transitioned to TEMPO), but will update others once RADAR trends can be established. Overnight conditions will be calm, but expect FG development at SRB/CSV once again. Tomorrow will be similar to today with another afternoon period of convection. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
