.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 902 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025

A tornado watch is currently in effect for most of Middle
Tennessee west of the Cumberland Plateau. A line of storms has
crossed into our northwest counties, and everything seems to be
consistent with what was forecast earlier regarding timing and
impacts. The storms have formed just ahead of a cold front that
will come through the mid state later tonight and early Monday.
Rain and storm chances will linger into the Monday, but we do not
expect any severe impacts beyond 12Z. Obviously, cooler air will
fill in behind the front. Tomorrow`s max temps will only be in the
60s, and several spots will drop into the 30s tomorrow night,
although freezing temps appear unlikely. Temps will make a nice
recovery on Tuesday as ridge of high pressure slides across the
region.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Monday)
Issued at 902 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025

Wednesday and Wednesday night will bring our next storm chances,
and it already appears that Middle Tennessee is in for more severe
weather with this next active weather system. The SPC currently
has all of Middle Tennessee in a 15% hatched area for day 4, with
a 30% hatched are covering roughly the northwest 1/3 of the mid
state. But this is just the opening salvo. This boundary is likely
to become quasi-stationary just to the northwest of Middle
Tennessee and will allow a series of waves to train through the
region so that some hefty rainfall totals look to build up which
very well may lead to flooding. While it isn`t apparent that a
significant severe threat will persist beyond Wednesday night,
there will be an ongoing flooding threat. At this time, QPF totals
from Wednesday afternoon through Sunday range from maybe 1.5"
along the Cumberland Plateau, to around 4" for Nashville Metro, to
7+ inches around Clarksville and Land-between-the-Lakes -- areas
that have already been heavily impacted by significant rainfall
during the past several weeks. Even larger QPF totals are showing
up further upstream. Should the aforementioned boundary shift a
little to the east, it could have serious consequences for an even
larger portion of Middle Tennessee.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 643 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025

It`s going to be an active night for convection across Middle
Tennessee. Severe storms are ongoing over extreme southeast MO and
eastern AR, and are due to arrive in Middle Tennessee beginning
around 02Z with slow eastward progress throughout the late evening
and overnight. We have used the 22Z HRRR for timing of the
expected storms. There hasn`t been a great deal of change with the
forecast, so there is reasonably good confidence in the timing of
the TEMPO groups in the 00Z TAFs. Since all of our terminals are
under an enhanced risk of severe storms, have included higher wind
gusts within the TEMPO period. There is also a hail probability,
but not enough of a probability to warrant mention in the TAFs.
Once the storms depart, expect low ceilings to fill in behind the
surface boundary for much of the day on Monday.
