AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
718 PM EST TUE JAN 29 2008

.DISCUSSION...QUICK UPDATE TO FORECAST GRIDS AND PRODUCTS AS WINDS
ARE ALREADY GUSTING TO 64 KNOTS AT COVE MOUNTAIN (SEVIER COUNTY)
JUST OVER 4000 FEET. MRX VAD WIND PROFILE SHOWING LOW LEVEL JET
REACHING 50 KNOTS WITH UPSTREAM WIND PROFILES INDICATING A 60 TO 65
KNOT LOW LEVEL JET. SHOWERS TO COME THROUGH EARLY WOULD NOT APPEAR
TO BE ORGANIZED ENOUGH TO TRANSPORT DAMAGING WINDS TO THE SURFACE.
HOWEVER...MUCH STRONGER CONVECTION FIRING IN A NARROW LINE ALONG
THE COLD FRONT BETWEEN MEM AND BNA HAS A MUCH GREATER POTENTIAL TO
DO SO.

UPDATED NPWMRX PRODUCT AND ISSUED ALREADY WITH HIGH WIND WARNING
