006 FXUS64 KOHX 130334 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1034 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1034 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025 - Rain and thunderstorms continue through the weekend, best chances are in the afternoon/evening hours. - Risk of severe weather is low, however, localized heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent lightning will be possible with isolated stronger storms. - Warmth continues into the work week, with 20 - 40% chance of heat indices greater than 100 degrees. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday Night) Issued at 1034 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025 A line of showers and thunderstorms is moving into Middle Tennessee from the northwest currently. Not expecting any severe weather from this line, and it has pretty quickly become outflow dominant since entering middle Tennessee. Overnight, we could see more isolated showers thanks to how moist the air mass is (and continues to become with moisture advection into the area continuing). For Sunday, a weak shortwave will be approaching our area, as well as a front stalling to our north. More numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected once again, and while the severe threat is low, some localized flooding, gusty winds, and frequent lightning can be expected from stronger storms. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1034 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025 Ridging into the work week favors more warm temperatures and moisture in middle Tennessee. This will lead to continued diurnal rain chances and hot heat indices through at least mid-week. Probabilities for over 100 degree heat indices are around 20 - 40% by mid-week, with higher probability as you get closer to western Tennessee. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s through the week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 643 PM CDT Sat Jul 12 2025 VFR conditions will prevail over the next 24 hours with a few exceptions. Watching line of TSRA that may be able to hold it together to impact KCKV between 01Z-03Z bringing brief MVFR/IFR Conditions, but think the line should decay enough not to impact KBNA or KMQY. Otherwise, some -BR/BCFG could briefly develop at KCSV and KSRB between 09Z-13Z. More TSRA development expected after 18Z, however pinpointing impacts and locations are too difficult to include in the forecast at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
