Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 6:44 PM CST, 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 644 PM CST THU MAR 9 2006 .UPDATE...HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN AROUND TO UPDATING THE ZONES. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL CONTINUE E HALF UNTIL 9 PM CST (0300 UTC). ISSUED STATEMENT EARLIER TO REMOVE TORNADO WATCH IN W...AS WELL AS REMOVE SEVERAL COUNTIES ON W END OF CURRENT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. CURRENTLY A NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN VICINITY OF UPPER LEVEL COLD POCKET WAS LOCATED ALONG THE MS RIVER FROM MO BOOTHEEL TO N OF MEMPHIS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER MEAN RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AND A SLIGHTLY NEGATIVELY TILTED (NNW-SSE) SHORT WAVE MOVE ACROSS NE AR AND W TN. LATEST RUC MODEL TAKES THE MOST UNSTABLE AIR AND MOVES IT ENE INTO MAINLY NW AND N CENTRAL SECTIONS IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME ADDITIONAL DRYING IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS INVADES THE AREA FROM THE SW. FEELING AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE MOST LIKELY THREAT OF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE SHOULD STAY TO OUR NW AND N... WHERE BETTER MOISTURE TO MAINTAIN THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST. IVE KEPT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING...WITH OF COURSE THE HIGHEST CHANCES OVER E HALF. OTHERWISE NOT MUCH MORE HAS BEEN DONE WITH UPDATED ZONE SET THAT WAS ISSUED A LITTLE WHILE AGO. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM THURSDAY FOR E HALF OF MIDDLE TN. && STEIGERWALDT
