AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
243 PM EST TUE JAN 8 2008
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY)..COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA
TONIGHT. STRONG 850MB JET OVER THE AREA HAS CREATED STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY
CONDITIONS INTO THE VALLEY. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11Z
FOR THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. LINE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE FRONT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO WEST TN AND SHOULD REACH
INTO THE MRX CWA DURING THE LATE EVENING TO OVERNIGHT HOURS.
STORMS WILL BE MOVING INTO A MORE STABLE AIR MASS AS THEY REACH INTO
THE MRX AREA. THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE THE
POTENTIAL OF DOWNDRAFTS TO PULL DOWN SOME OF THE STRONG WINDS
ALOFT. WINDS WILL DECREASE TOWARDS SUNRISE AS THE SYSTEM EXITS THE
REGION OVERNIGHT. COULD SEE SOME SHOWER LINGER OVER FAR EASTERN
AREAS DURING THE EARLY MORNING. ADDITIONALLY A BIT COOLER AIR WILL
FILTER IN BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH WEDNESDAY/S HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE
50S.
.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...MAIN SYSTEM STILL
LOOKS TO BE SHORTWAVE AND COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY. MOS POPS HAVE
INCREASED WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT TO PRODUCE
RAIN IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT...THEN SOME HEAVIER RAINS WITH
CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION (PCPN) THURSDAY NIGHT. STRONG WINDS
INDICATED...PERHAPS LITTLE BETTER DYNAMICS THAN WITH TONIGHTS
SYSTEM...AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY WELL INTO THURSDAY EVENING. THUS
...I CARRIED A MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS A BIT LONGER IN THE GRIDS
THAN BEFORE...AND ALSO USED STRONGER WINDS FROM NAM 12KM FOR
THURSDAY NIGHT. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA IN HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. SHORT RANGE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT
ON TIMING...WITH POTENTIAL FOR RAINS TO EXCEED ONE INCH IN MANY
AREAS FROM 12Z THURSDAY TO 12Z FRIDAY.
OTHERWISE...GENERALLY DRY FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY...AS
WELL AS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER...GFS/ECMWF AND ENSEMBLES
DEFINITELY TRENDING WETTER FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...WITH DEEPER
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND BETTER MOISTURE INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH. DONT
EXPECT MORE THAN LIGHT PCPN...BUT A WINTRY MIX USED IN GRIDS. WILL
LET LATER SHIFTS LOOK THIS OVER SOME MORE BEFORE GOING ABOVE 50
PERCENT POPS...OR INCLUDING ANY SIGNIFICANT SNOW IN THE GRIDS.
OTHERWISE...CLOSELY FOLLOWED GFS AND GFSX MOS FOR TEMPERATURES.
