(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 1013 AM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024
A line of showers and thunderstorms are progressing E over the
Upper Cumberland. These storms have not produced much other than
some lightning as they have moved through Middle TN. This
morning's sounding showed a capped atmosphere with poor lapse
rates. This line of storms will continue to move E out of the CWA
by this afternoon. Satellite imagery shows breaks in the clouds
over W TN. In general, cloud cover is expected to decrease through
the afternoon, helping to mix the lowest levels and break the
morning cap. Speaking of this afternoon, the storm threat has
significantly decreased as all the moisture looks to be out of
the area by the time convective indices become more favorable.
Latest CAM's also support this thinking and keep the CWA dry the
rest of today.
Once cloud cover diminishes, another warm day is expected with
temps climbing into the upper 70s to low 80s. By Thursday, dry
and warm conditions prevail with temperatures back in the mid to
upper 50s. BNA's record for tomorrow is 88 degrees set back in
1955. Late Thursday night into early Friday morning, a cold front
looks to drop SE from the NW. SPC has Middle TN in a marginal
risk for this timeframe, but the trend for severe storms has been
shifting further W. Exact timing of storms moving through Middle
TN still need to be narrowed down, but at this time, looking like
sometime late Thursday night.
