CI Shows Additional Convective Threat With Trailing Cold Front

The main band of showers and thunderstorms has mostly cleared the Nashville CWA at this point. However, the CI algorithm has been highlighting convective potential along the pre-frontal trough and then along the trailing cold front later this afternoon and this evening. The CI values have been fairly modest, and the severe CI are low, so we are not expecting the additional showers moving in over the next few hours to be all that strong.

MRMS mosaic 0.5 deg. radar is now showing some better developed echoes associated with the pre-frontal trough draped from western TN down through northern MS and south AR. There are also some weak echoes showing up from south IL down through the MO panhandle associated with the cold front. -JP
