Discussion While Sun was seen by many this morning north of i-40, showers have already started to stream into middle tn this afternoon. This isn't great news because an earlier arrival of the rains means even more we don't need. Flood advisories have already started flowing out in our far southern counties and for this reason, we're going to move up the start time of the flash flood watch with the issuance of this afternoon's forecast package. This isn't a forecast discussion I write lightly. After yesterday's widespread flooding across all of middle tn, even with the 18 hour break in rainfall, the addition of even another 1 to 1.5 inches is going to create some major issues. The problem is, we're now forecasting 1 to 3 inches of rain just through tomorrow afternoon and a total of 3 to 5 inches from tonight through Saturday night. The highest amounts are currently thought to fall across southwest portions of middle tn, basically west of i-24 and south of i-40. While there were already swift water rescues yesterday, this amount of rainfall is likely to cause more of the same and probably even cause some people to be thinking about a plan to evacuate. This needs to be your focus prior tonight. If you live near a stream or a creek or a river that you know floods easily, you need to have a plan in place to evacuate and get to higher ground in the event waters begin to rise as this has the makings of a life-threatening situation. The main time of concern begins early tomorrow morning, runs right through most of the day tomorrow and probably won't let up much, if at all, tomorrow night. While there is a severe weather threat Saturday evening across the mid-state, the focus right now needs to be the extreme amount of rainfall we're expecting. Please don't take this lightly. Have a plan in place now so you can evacuate to higher ground quickly, if need be. Now, for the severe weather threat. Models continue to show an intense system developing upstream from the tn river valley Saturday morning. This system will increase winds fields to the point where |
we're looking at significant low-level helicities (on the order of 500 0-1 km) by Saturday evening. The question will be the amount of instability that can be realized. A strong low-level jet will try to strengthen the warm air advection ahead of what is likely to be at least a broken, if not solid, line of convection for Saturday evening. Here's the major issue with this: even if we only get strong wind gusts out of this system (40-50 mph), with as wet as the ground already is, trees are going to fall very easily. This is something folks need to keep in mind as we go into Saturday evening. The main concern right now is damaging straight line winds, but with the low-level helicities expected, i wouldn't be surprised to see rotation in many of these storms. Again, the flash flooding threat is the main concern in the next 24-36 hours, but then we need to watch this closely. With all of that said, models are hinting at the possibility of at least 3 days of dry weather after Saturday night. This will be a welcomed change after the next couple of days. Aviation 18z TAF discussion. MainlyVFR through this afternoon, except lingering MVFR CIGS at csv. For tonight, showers return to the area, so CIGS vsbys will fall to MVFR overnight with some ifr at times. Winds will be nne 6-10kt through the period.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
