853 FXUS64 KOHX 271126 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 626 AM CDT Mon May 27 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 1259 AM CDT Mon May 27 2024 Convection currently working southward across the mid state with the leading edge stretching from Linden to Franklin to Jamestown. Lapse rates have backed down considerably but capes and helicity values south of the leading edge are still considerable. Tornado watch has been cleared in our far nw 3 counties with additional clearing upcoming soon. Moving on, we will see some partial clearing this afternoon. Hrrr does elude toward some isolated general tstm development but confidence in that regard is rather low. Otw, the remainder of the short term period looks quite calm. Surface high pressure will be building down from our north. This will provide some drier and more seasonal temperatures through Wednesday. Dewpoints will actually drop into the 50s on Tuesday and Wednesday behind what looks to be a Monday night dry fropa. Note that the associated ul troughing is quite weak and broad. So we should still warm into the upper 70s to lower 80s for highs. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday Night through next Monday) Issued at 1259 AM CDT Mon May 27 2024 In the extended forecast, a much welcomed dry and benign pattern appears to be forthcoming. A dry northwesterly flow will give way to some ridging by the weekend. Perhaps a weak frontal system may bring a few showers and tstms by Sunday. Pops look as though they will be on the low side with no svr threat at this time, anyway. For the extended temps, it will start out a little below seasonal. Then, with that aforementioned ridge, we`ll warm into the lower to mid 80s over the weekend. Overnight lows will be in the 50s initially, then into the lower 60s by Sunday and Monday. && .AVIATION...
