481 FXUS64 KOHX 141741 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1241 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1229 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 - Humid with medium to high chances for showers and thunderstorms each day through the weekend. Greatest rain chances each afternoon and early evening. - Generally low risk for severe weather, but some of the storms will contain torrential downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Sunday Night) Issued at 1127 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 A very active weather period continues today and looks like it`s going to be with us for several more days. Scattered showers have blossomed on the radar in the last 90 minutes and while I expect to have some rumbles of thunder today, they are few and far between at this time. However, with any breaks in the rain as we get into the afternoon hours, this should allow time for the atmosphere to destabilize and open the door for at least isolated thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and into the early evening hours. I`m not overly concerned about any severe weather, however the showers that we are getting are gushers. A quick half inch is very possible with any of them and if you get two throughout the day, you could be pretty soaked. On the whole, I don`t expect any flash flooding, but if you`re going to be out and about today in Middle TN, an umbrella will be your closest friend and ally. Showers should come to an end prior to midnight and with the wet grounds, patchy fog will be possible after midnight and through daybreak on Sunday. Please use caution if travelling on area roadways tomorrow morning. More rain chances are in the cards tomorrow, however latest hi-res guidance is suggesting coverage may not be quite as much as we`ll see today. This will do a couple of things: first, it should allow us to warm up a few more degrees, but secondly, any storms that do develop will have a slightly better chance for gusty winds. Keep this in mind in you have outdoor plans tomorrow. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through next Saturday) Issued at 1127 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 General troughiness will continue over the region Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This means decent rain chances each day right through the middle of next week across the mid-state. Forecast soundings remain relatively benign each day, so I don`t see one day sticking out as particularly concerning regarding any severe threat, however it is summer so keep in mind that any thunderstorm that develops will have a gusty wind risk and likely give you a good soaking with heavy rainfall. There is some relief from the rain in sight. By the end of next week, much of the long-range guidance is suggesting rain chances wane. However, in its place is a strong upper ridge and this could spell temperatures climbing into the 90s for next weekend. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 A surface low is passing by just to the north of Middle Tennessee, with a surface boundary/upper trough situated to our west this afternoon. We have seen mainly scattered showers with the occasional storm passing through the mid state, but the activity looks to increase as the upper trough swings through the region (while the surface boundary remains upstream). So look for a better chance of storms during the late afternoon and early evening. Overnight, look for low ceilings to develop, along with some radiation fog. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
