AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
200 AM CDT MON JUN 9 1997

RAIN OVER SRN AND ERN AREAS APPEARS TO BE DIMINISHING, BUT ONLY
AFTER DUMPING SOME HIGH TOTALS (ESTIMATED ABV 2 INCHES) OVER PARTS
OF OUR SWRN COUNTIES. NORTH AND WEST OF THE RAIN AREA, PATCHY
DENSE FOG HAS BEEN OBSERVED WHERE THIN SPOTS OCCUR IN THE CLOUDS.
MIGHT WANT TO MENTION PATCHY DENSE FOG FOR EARLY THIS MORNING IN
THESE AREAS (INCLUDING THE BNA VCNTY), AS TEMPS APPEAR TO BE IN
LOVE WITH THE DWPTS TONIGHT.

OVERALL, CURRENT FCST LOOKS GOOD. HOWEVER, ETA PAINTS A DIFFERENT
PICTURE THAN ANY OF THE OTHER MODELS AFTER 30 HRS, ESPECIALLY
IN REGARDS TO THE RETURN OF DEEP MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH. AM NOT SURE
WHY, SINCE ALL MODELS DEVELOP UPPER TROF OVER LOWER MS VALLEY ON TUE
AND FLOW BCMS SWLY OVER OUR REGION. THUS,WUD LEAN MORE HEAVILY TOWARD
NGM AND AVN SOLUTIONS (ESPECIALLY THE WETTER NGM) AND WUD PROBABLY GO
WITH A GOOD CHC FOR RAIN OVER THE WRN 1/2 OF OUR AREA FOR TUE AND
BUMP POPS UP JUST A TAD.  OTHERWISE, FCST SHOULD REQUIRE LITTLE CHANGE.
