229 FXUS64 KOHX 131123 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 623 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Friday) Issued at 150 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 Strong Four Corners ridge will start to push east and that is going to bring an extended period of hot temperatures to Middle TN. Highs today will push into the upper 80s to lower 90s. We will see some instability build in over eastern areas, this will bring some afternoon cloud cover but no precip expected. Dew points will also start to creep up reaching the mid 60s. With the higher humidity overnight lows Thursday night will be more mild in the mid 60s. On Friday an upper level trough will push into the Northeast and that will push a cold front to our north. The front will weaken as it pushes towards Middle TN and CAPE profiles are capped in our area. This will lead to little to no impact with the front but we will see some cloud cover. Despite the cloud cover highs will continue their upward trend with them pushing into the low to mid 90s. && .LONG TERM... (Friday Night through next Thursday) Issued at 150 AM CDT Thu Jun 13 2024 Upper level ridge will continue to build east over the weekend and we will see hot temperatures in the 90s. The APEX of the ridge will be over us on Sunday and that will be the peak of the heat over the next 5 days with highs well into the 90s and possibly to 100 in some locations. The NBM continues to show a 10-50% chance for highs to break the 100 mark on Sunday. Overnight lows Sunday night will remain mild only falling into the 70s. A short wave trough will pass to our northwest on Monday and that will bring some "slight" cooling for Monday and Tuesday but it will still be hot and humid with highs in the 90s. The upper level ridge will then continue to amplify over the eastern US and we will see highs push back into the mid to upper 90s mid to late week and will remain hot into next weekend. Overnight lows will also remain mild only falling into the 70s. Given the extended period of hot daytime highs, mild overnight lows, and humid conditions we will see moderate to highs heat risk Sunday and throughout the week. The forecast is expected to remain dry through the weekend but we could see some popup afternoon thunderstorms next week. && .AVIATION...
