Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 7:45 PM EDT, 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN 745 PM EDT MON JUN 14 2004 .DISCUSSION...A COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN IS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA THIS EVENING. AN OLD STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS DRAPED ALONG OUR WESTERN BORDER WITH A COLD FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST. ADDITIONALLY ...BOUNDARIES LIE OVER OUR AREA AND TO OUR EAST AND SOUTH ASSOCIATED WITH PRIOR CONVECTION AS WELL AS FROM AN APPROACHING SYSTEM OVER THE GULF COAST REGION. ALL THIS COMBINED WITH A WEAK TO MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE MRX CWA HAS ALLOWED EVENING CONVECTION TO FORM. THUNDERSTORMS SLOWLY DECREASING IN STRENGTH AND COVERAGE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT AS A BAND LIFTS NORTH OUT OF AL AND GA. ALL ON TRACK IN CURRENT FORECAST...WILL UPDATE LATER TONIGHT TO REMOVE MIDNIGHT WORDING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
