AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KNOXVILLE/TRI-CITIES TN 215 PM EDT MON JUL 21 1997 BIG QUESTION CONTINUES TO BE WHAT AFFECTS WILL BE FELT FROM DANNY. REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING SCATTERED PRECIP MAINLY ALONG THE MOUNTAIN BACKBONE AND INTO CHEROKEE AND CLAY COUNTIES OF SW NC. PHAZING OF NORTHERN STREAM AND DANNY LIKELY TO OCCUR TUE AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH GOOD PVA AND STRONG VV. WITH ALL THIS IN MIND...LOOKS LIKE 30 PERCENT TONIGHT IS A GOOD BET AND 60S OVER MOST OF THE FA ON TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT AND LIKELY ON WEDNESDAY. TEMPS WILL MODIFY SOMEWHAT DUE TO INCREASED CLOUDCOVER AND PRECIPITATION IN THE REGION...MID TO UPPER 80S...IN OTHER WORDS...FAN NUMBERS LOOK THE BEST.
