AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KNOXVILLE/TRI-CITIES TN 245 PM EST SAT MAR 16 1996 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF THE FA TODAY WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. CURRENT WW OVER PLATEAU AND EXTREME WESTERN PORTION OF THE VALLEY THROUGH 8 PM WILL LIKELY EXTEND EASTWARD INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE VALLEY TONIGHT AS DYNAMICS SHIFT EASTWARD. HOPEFULLY MOVING INTO THE EVENING HOURS WILL TAKE SOME OF THE PUNCH OUT HOWEVER. CURRENT FORECAST POPS AND TEMPS REASONABLE HOWEVER WORDING MIGHT NEED REVISING TO CONVEY POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE CONVECTION. THE GOOD NEWS FOR SUNDAY IS THAT INTENSE DEEP CONVECTION TO SOUTH OF FA WILL "CUTOFF" THE GULF AND THEREFORE THE BIGGEST THzREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER. EVEN WITH THIS CUTOFF...SHOWERS AND SOME TSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE. MONDAY SHOULD SEE THINGS BEGINNING TO QUIET DOWN SOMEWHAT, BUT STILL A HIGH LIKELYHOOD OF PRECIPITATION. FWC POPS AND TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE.
