SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1043 PM CDT THU JUL 9 2026
A DECAYING BOWING SEGMENT MOVING ACROSS KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE IS
LOSING ITS STEAM AS ITS OUTFLOW HAS SURGED AHEAD OF IT. MORE
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, BUT A DECREASE IN INSTABILITY
WILL TURN DOWN THE SEVERE THREAT. THE MAIN CONCERNS WITH ANY
STORM OVERNIGHT WILL BE GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN, WHICH COULD
POSE A FLOOD RISK GIVEN HOW SATURATED THE SOILS ARE FROM RECENT
PRECIPITATION.
TOMORROW, MORE EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH ALOFT AND
SUPPORT ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
MORNING. AS A SOUTHERLY 45 KT LLJ RAMPS UP IN THE AFTERNOON, THE
CAMS DEPICT ANOTHER BOWING SEGMENT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA FROM NW
TO SE. AFTERNOON DESTABILIZATION IS QUESTIONABLE, HOWEVER, GIVEN
MORNING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND REMNANT CLOUD COVER. IF SOME
POCKETS OF SUNSHINE ARE ABLE TO PEAK THROUGH AND WE'RE ABLE TO
DESTABILIZE, AMPLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES COULD SUPPORT DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.
FLOODING WILL BE A BIGGER CONCERN. BACKBUILDING CELLS ARE
PROBABLE, AND THIS IS CONCERNING GIVEN THAT THE GROUND IS SATURATED
AND PWATS ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 2.25-2.5" RANGE, WHICH COULD
CHALLENGE THE CLIMATOLOGICAL DAILY MAX. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY WITH
POTENTIALLY A MID-MORNING LULL BEFORE DIURNAL CONVECTION FIRES OFF
AGAIN.
A WIDESPREAD 2-4" OF RAIN IS EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. THE ENTIRE AREA REMAINS UNDER A FLOOD WATCH UNTIL SUNDAY
AT 6 PM.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1043 PM CDT THU JUL 9 2026
A BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD TO OUR WEST, CUTTING OFF A LOW OVER
THE TN VALLEY ON SUNDAY. AT THE SURFACE, A WEST/EAST DRAPED
BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH AND SUSTAIN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS, ANY OF WHICH COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND
FLOODING CONCERNS. THIS CUTOFF LOW MAY LINGER OVER THE AREA INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND KEEP HIGHER CHANGES FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST. DIURNAL ACTIVITY WILL THEN
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK BUT OVERALL CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION
WILL BE LOWER AS THE UPPER RIDGE EXPANDS OVER THE AREA.
