...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1146 AM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024

Pretty nice day out there. Plenty of sun, temps in the 70s, creeping
towards 80 for many. However, it will all go downhill from here.
Clouds will be on the increase this afternoon ahead of next weather
maker due into Middle TN this evening. Models have been very
consistent regarding this system. As storms move into the area,
we`ll be losing the heating of the day (sub-1000 J/Kg CAPE), lapse
rates get worse and shear drops off. This continues to spell general
thunderstorms with this system. Is there the potential for a gust to
40 mph with any storm? Sure, but no severe weather is expected.
Rainfall still looks healthy between tonight and tomorrow. I think 1
to 2 inches is still possible with a few pockets getting a touch
more with the heavier convection. Some localized flooding issues
will be possible, but nothing to write home about. Rain chances fall
off pretty dramatically by noon tomorrow, with everybody becoming
rain-free before sunset tomorrow.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday Night through next Monday)
Issued at 1146 AM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024

High pressure builds into the region pretty quickly on Wednesday and
this will set the stage for some of our warmest temperatures of the
year so far. Thursday still looks like the warmest and latest NBM
probs show the chance of getting to 90 degrees at about 70% for BNA.
With dew points in the upper 50s, it won`t quite feel like summer,
but close. Remember, if we get to 90 at BNA on Thursday, it`ll be
the first time since 1901.

It still looks like Thursday night for the arrival of our next
weather system. Models have been fairly consistent with this, as
well. This should lead to periods of showers and storms throughout
the day Friday and Friday night with activity getting out of here
Saturday morning. Forecast soundings still look pretty benign, so no
severe weather is expected at this time. Even if we do see a break
Saturday afternoon and Sunday, there looks like a good chance of
more rain moving in Sunday night or Monday. With this many chances
for rain, it matches up well the above-normal precip forecast
from CPC through the next 10 days.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 109 PM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024

VFR conditions through much of the afternoon, but flight
categories are expected to drop as a line of SHRA/TSRA moves
through the area. SHRA/TSRA will move through from west to east,
finally clearing off the Plateau near the end of the current TAF
period. Expect MVFR/IFR conditions for most overnight into early
tomorrow. Southerly winds will slowly become north/northwesterly
between 12Z and 18Z.
