533 FXUS64 KOHX 060344 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1044 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1044 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026 - Rain-free weather with lower humidity through Saturday. - Temperatures warming back into the mid to upper 80s this weekend, with some 90s possible later next week. - Rain and storm chances will return on Sunday and extend into next week. The risk of severe storms is very low for the foreseeable future. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Sunday Night) Issued at 1044 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026 A high pressure system in the southeastern US is keeping us in a dry pattern for the moment. Don't get too attached though, as a pattern shift is incoming Sunday. For now though, highs will be in the 80s (approaching 90 degrees) Saturday, with a bit more humidity as our southerly moisture flow increases. That being said, could feel a little warmer out there than it actually is if you have any Saturday outdoor plans. Sunday will bring on the start of a wetter pattern as our high pressure system moves out to sea and leaves us vulnerable to approaching systems. A surface boundary is expected to develop over Tennessee with a decent trough/open wave to our west in the midwest. Needless to say combining this weak forcing with ample gulf moisture flow, we will have some instability and convection out there. Convection will be more on the scattered side, and we're not expecting any severe weather at this time. If there is any chance of an isolated strong storm, the best area looks to be west of I-65 in Middle Tennessee Sunday afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through next Saturday) Issued at 1044 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026 The aforementioned trough/open wave will pass through Monday afternoon into Monday night. Ahead and along this shortwave passage, we can expect some possibly organized severe weather, given the decent forcing mechanism and the already present moisture flow and instability. Once again, the severe threat is low with this system, but an isolated strong storm could occur. Even though we won't see any organized systems after Monday, daytime convection will be in full swing for the remainder of the week. So some scattered/isolated thunderstorms during the hottest parts of the day can be expected even as a ridge rebuilds to our west on Wednesday. Temperatures will remain on the higher side, and the moisture will keep on coming aloft, keeping our dewpoints moist. As the ridge deepens its grip on our area, expect some 90 degree temperatures during the latter part of the week. Remember to stay hydrated and take plenty of breaks in the AC, shade, or the pool if you have some outdoor plans! && .AVIATION...
