.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...
THE FRONT ACROSS THE CWA IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF KNOXVILLE AND INTO
THE NORTHERN PLATEAU COUNTIES. PRECIP THIS EVENING WILL BE CONFINED
MAINLY ALONG AND TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. GENEROUS INSTABILITY
WILL LEAD TO A THREAT OF SOME SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY PRODUCING
DAMAGING WINDS. MODELS ALSO SHOW A VORT AXIS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
THIS EVENING...WHICH SHOULD KEEP SOME SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA PAST MIDNIGHT. IN THE NORTH...DRIER AIR HAS
MADE ITS WAY INTO THE AREA WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE 50S. THE
FRONT WILL GRADUALLY PUSH SOUTH OVERNIGHT...AND SHOULD BE NEAR THE
GA/AL BORDER BY MORNING. AS THE HIGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES BUILDS
DOWN OVER THE CAROLINAS AND THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...AN INVERTED LOW
LEVEL TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE APPALACHIANS TOMORROW. THE LIFT IN
THE NAM APPEARS WAY OVERDONE...AS IT GIVES CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE
SOUTH. WILL STAY CLOSER TO THE CHANCE POPS IN THE GFS...AND CONFINE
THEM MAINLY TO THE MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHERN VALLEY. NAM TEMPS ARE ALSO
TOO COOL...AND THE WARMER GFS MOS WILL BE PREFERRED.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...
INVERTED TROUGH OVER THE APPALACHIANS WILL KEEP A FEW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS MONDAY EVENING OTHERWISE
SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER WITH
LOWER DEW POINTS THANKS TO HIGHER PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND
NORTHEAST. TUESDAY NORTHWEST FLOW NORTH OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
KEEP MOST OF FORECAST AREA DRY. MODELS WANT TO BRING THE TAIL END
OF SHORTWAVE THATS CURRENTLY ON THE CANADIAN BORDER AND NORTHERN MN
AROUND LARGE SOUTHWEST US UPPER RIDGE INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS
LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WHICH COULD AFFECT SOUTHWEST
VIRGINIA BUT FOR NOW KEEPING IT DRY AND JUST HAVING SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. WEDNESDAY AS MOISTURE INCREASES WITH
MORE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAVE ADDED POPS TO ALL AREAS BUT STILL SEE
MOSTLY LATE AFTERNOON CONVECTION FROM HEATING. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
A COLD FRONT MOVING AROUND UPPER RIDGE APPROACHES AND MOVES INTO
THE REGION. KEEPING THE WEEKEND DRY FOR NOW WITH FRONT JUST TO THE
SOUTH. HOWEVER THIS TIME OF YEAR FRONTS TEND TO WEAKEN AND FALL
APART SO DIURNAL POPS MAY HAVE TO BE ADDED LATER. GENERALLY
FOLLOWED THE HIGHER MINS WITH THE NAM/WRF FOR LOWS SOUTH WITH A
BLEND NORTH MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE WARMER MAV OR
SLIGHTLY HIGHER FOR HIGHS TUESDAY AND BEYOND.
