(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 1020 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024
This morning's showers have moved out of the CWA and satellite
imagery shows cloud cover diminishing as the boundary layer sees
better mixing. Temperatures are lagging behind by 2-3 degrees
from where they were at this time yesterday. There is a large
break in cloud cover that has developed W of I-65 and is expanding
E. This should allow for better heating leading to our highs
today still reaching the low to mid 80s. This evening, cloud cover
will increase once again ahead of a developing front associated
with a surface low over Nebraska. As this front marches E, shower
activity is expected to increase over Middle TN late tonight into
early Wednesday morning.
We have been monitoring the threat for severe weather on
Wednesday, and overall, the threat is looking minimal for Middle
TN at this time. Latest SPS outlook has shifted the slight risk N,
leaving TN with a marginal risk. There are a few issues with the
overall set up. One being the location of the surface low. The low
is currently over Nebraska and is forecasted to track NE into
Iowa and then Michigan. This keeps the best forcing N of TN.
Additionally, the front itself looks to bring very little moisture
into TN with some of the latest CAMs showing no precipitation at
all moving through. Taking a look at the 500mb level, there is
some diffluent flow Wednesday morning, but quickly becomes mostly
zonal by Wednesday afternoon/evening limiting upward motion. Some
pros, Wednesday afternoon, CAMs forecast sufficient CAPE values
around 1500-2000 J/kg, good mid-level lapse rates from 7-9 C/km,
and sufficient deep layer shear along with storm helicity values
between 150-290. That said, these things don't matter if storms
don't develop. This will ultimately be the question and something
that will have to be monitored through the day Wednesday. If
storms do develop, some could become severe with he greatest
threat being wind and hail at this time.
