.DISCUSSION...MID-LEVEL CLOUDS SPREADING ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT CLOSES IN ON THE MID STATE. RADAR
SHOWING A FEW LIGHT ECHOES MOVING OVER FROM WEST TENNESSEE, BUT
THE HEAVIEST STUFF REMAINS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OHIO RIVER
JUST AHEAD OF THE SURFACE FRONT.

MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING THE FRONT THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE DURING
THE DAY, ALTHOUGH PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY FIELDS SHOW POP'S WON'T
BE ALL THAT HIGH, SO WILL CONTINUE WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION IN
THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. UPPER TROUGH WILL COME THROUGH THIS
EVENING, WITH TREMENDOUS COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.

RESULT WILL BE TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THIS
WEEKEND, WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 50'S TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT, AND EVEN SOME 40'S SATURDAY NIGHT. WARMING TREND WILL

SOME RETURN FLOW.

RE-INTRODUCE ISOLATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION BY THURSDAY.
