071 FXUS64 KOHX 030549 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1249 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 828 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 It`s a quiet evening with just a couple blips on the radar over the plateau. Those should dissipate in the next hour. The story tonight will be areas of fog. That fog will dissipate Monday morning with a warm day ahead. The forecast is on track and no major changes were made. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday Night) Issued at 1208 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 A much less active day with little in the way of convection noted. Just a few isolated showers across our Plateau but that activity should continue to decrease. This is all due to the flattening of the shortwave overnight. In fact, we will see some upcoming ridging into tonight and Monday. For tonight though, could see some fog across our Plateau especially. Current tover values are around -3F with neutral dewpoint trends expected from 00Z through 12Z. Will double check the builder to see if there is any fog input. The pattern will still remain mildly unsettled as another shortwave moves in for Monday night and Tuesday. Instability will ramp up pretty good across western TN on Tuesday afternoon. Furthermore 850 mb mags are around 30 Kts. There is a marginal generally west of the MS river. I`d be surprised if thats not expanded eastward with time. The associated surface boundary is virtually absent though so the synoptic display is non-supportive. Otherwise, rainfall totals though Tuesday night look like an inch far west to a half inch east. For the short term temps, it will be on the warm side for early June. That previously mentioned upper ridging could send our highs into the upper 80s to near 90F on Monday and possibly Tuesday as well. Overnight lows will be summer like with 65F to 70F for most areas. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1208 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 In the extended forecast, a more potent and better stacked system is indicated for Wednesday. Looks like a sure fire marginal but nothing out of spc yet. Following the mid week system, will cool off a touch. It certainly looks calmer as some troughing digs along the Atlantic coast. We could see some backside energy with a few showers at times. However, the nbm only references 20 pops at best. Total qpf amounts for the extended period only chime in at around 1 inch across our Plateau(for the Wednesday activity primarily), to just a quarter of an inch west. For the extended temps, quite warm and muggy initially. We actually see a secondary boundary push through on Thursday with some cooler air behind it. Our highs will drop down to near 80F by next weekend. Lows will drop to near 60F. && .AVIATION...
