.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1130 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

A high pressure system near the East Coast continues to gradually
move off shore, so its influence is starting to lessen across
Middle TN today. Light E to SE winds continue and there`s been an
uptick in moisture per mesoanalysis and our 12z RAOB. However,
mid-level dry air and subsidence continue to be an issue which is
inhibiting higher rain chances despite increasing PWs. Convection
this afternoon is favoring the Cumberland Plateau where the best
moisture availability will be through the afternoon. PoPs today
are 10-30%. Otherwise, we`re looking hot and somewhat humid today
with high temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s once again.

Moisture will continue to increase through the area tomorrow with
a more southerly low-level flow extending into TN as shortwave
moves into the Ohio Valley. HREF mean PWs of 1.8-2.0" suggest
more scattered convection area-wide, with higher coverage
possible. PoPs are generally 40-60% tomorrow. Afternoon
temperaturesshould be knocked down a couple degrees as a result
of clouds/rain, but it will be more muggy.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday Night through next Monday)
Issued at 1130 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

Wednesday continues to be the most active day of the week from a
rain/storm perspective. Sufficient moisture will remain in the
area and the approach of a weakening shortwave trough should help
alleviate mid-level subsidence. A diffuse surface front will also
move into the area from the northwest. With an overall increase in
forcing and instability, as well as a 20-30 kts of westerly flow
aloft, we`ll need to watch for a few stronger storms in the
afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall is also possible. No organized
severe weather or flash flooding is expected at this time,
however. Scattered showers/storms are also expected on Thursday
with residual effects of these features.

The remainder of the long-term period (Fri-Sun) appears fairly
routine. Temperatures, however, will favor above-normal values
through the weekend with continued humidity. Heat index values in
the low 100s are forecast each afternoon with isolated
showers/storms.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 618 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

VFR will continue today with light east to southeast winds. Skies
will feature scattered cumulus clouds along with scattered to
broken mid level clouds. Isolated showers or storms will form in
the afternoon with coverage too limited to include in tafs at
this time. For tonight, moisture will increase from the southeast
resulting in lowering cigs with widespread MVFR by the end of the
taf period.
