772 FXUS64 KOHX 150538 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1238 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 815 PM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024 Not much to say here. Max temperatures peaked this afternoon in the 90s. BNA topped out at 96 degrees, just shy of the daily record of 97 degrees from 2022. Tomorrow looks the same with dry weather and hot temperatures. Remember those heat safety tips this weekend as hottest temperatures are still expected on Sunday. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Saturday) Issued at 1059 AM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024 Did you feel it? This morning`s frontal boundary ripped through here pretty quick and changed...nothing. Southern KY saw a quick shower, but as fast as they appeared on radar, they were gone. In its wake, mostly clear skies continue across the mid-state and there was so little affect from it, dew points are still in the 60s. That means warm and humid will be the story again today. If we see any affect, it could be a degree or two cooler tomorrow. That`s about it. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through next Friday) Issued at 1059 AM CDT Fri Jun 14 2024 High pressure aloft is still expected to make its presence felt by Sunday. Afternoon highs should be the warmest of the week, with many spots reaching into the upper 90s. Dew points will remain in the mid to upper 60s, so expect Heat Index values to reach triple digits, especially west of the Cumberland Plateau. If you have outdoor plans on Sunday, have somewhere you can get into the shade and cool off. I`m still thinking the ridge aloft should stymie any thunderstorm chances on Sunday, which means Monday will be Middle TN`s best shot at getting some rain in this forecast package. Unfortunately, it`s still not a great shot. Will maintain a 20-30% chance, however, if you get a storm on Monday afternoon, expect brief heavy rainfall, lots of lightning and even the potential for some gusty winds. By Tuesday, expect the start of another extended stretch of dry days across the mid-state. Temperatures should remain very summerish, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 90s with nothing too extreme on the horizon. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1233 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024 Upper ridging influences will keep all sites VFR this period, with the exception of some possible light fog development this morning at CSV and SRB. It`s not a guarantee, but with calm winds and mostly clear skies it`s not out of the question. Winds will be light and out of the northeast today. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
