542 FXUS64 KOHX 111106 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 606 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 603 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025 - Rain and storm chances will continue through the weekend. - While the risk of severe storms remains very low, localized flash flooding, frequent lightning and gusty winds will be possible with any storms. - Expect warm and humid conditions for the foreseeable future with heat index values creeping back up near 100 next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Saturday Night) Issued at 1034 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 Heading into tonight, cloud cover clears out and we have a slight southerly wind which will help areas that saw rain today (especially to our east) develop some localized patchy fog. For Saturday, the current model soundings show a classic summertime setup with high CAPE, low shear, and relatively high PWATs for this time of year (around 1.70"). Scattered storms will be possible across the entire CWA tomorrow. The biggest threat for these storms tomorrow is localized flooding due to slow winds aloft, similar to the last couple of days. Sadly, these storms won`t be cooling us off a lot with highs in the low 90s. These diurnally- driven storms will die off after they lose daytime heating. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 1034 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 An upper-level trough moves through the area this weekend which will aid our rain chances, resulting in similar storm activity we have been seeing lately. Mid-week an area of high pressure moves up from the Gulf, bringing lots of warm and moist air with it. Even though we will be in high pressure, our rain chances are here to stay. The tropical airmass that this high pressure center is bringing in will: amplify the heat (highs in the mid 90s), bring in higher PWATs (higher humidity), and influence diaurnally-driven storms. Later in the week, a trough dips down into our area and keeps rain in the forecast along with some increased cloud cover that will cool us off a few degrees with highs in the low 90s. The storms this week are not expected to become severe, but some storms that develop have the ability to produce gusty winds, frequent cloud to ground lightning, and possible localized flooding. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 603 AM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025 Patchy fog this morning is resulting in localized MVFR conditions. These conditions will gradually improve through the morning hours. Showers and thunderstorms will then again develop this afternoon, but coverage will likely be less compared to recent days. Any storms will diminish around 00Z-02Z. Patchy fog likely redevelops overnight with highest confidence at KCSV and KSRB. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
