AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
245 PM EST SAT FEB 9 2008
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...CURRENT SURFACE
ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CAROLINAS...WITH BREEZY
WINDS BUT MILD TEMPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. SATELLITE IMAGERY
REVEALS NOT MUCH CLOUDINESS OVER THE REGION...NOR FARTHER UPSTREAM
NEAR ANOTHER STRONGER COLD FRONT OVER THE UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY.
THUS...WILL PLAN TO BE OPTIMISTIC WITH CLOUD COVER TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY MORNING AS THIS STRONGER COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE FORECAST
AREA AROUND SUNRISE. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
DEVELOP SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE ON SUNDAY...WITH STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION KEEPING TEMPS ON THE COOL SIDE FOR SUNDAY. WILL PLAN TO
ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR SOUTHWEST VA...NORTHEAST TN AND THE

ADVISORY CRITERIA. WILL LET THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT DECIDE IF THIS
ADVISORY NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO OTHER AREAS...SINCE FOR NOW...WILL
ONLY INCLUDE THOSE AREAS WHERE CONFIDENCE IS HIGHEST IN EXCEEDING
ADVISORY CRITERIA. IT APPEARS THAT THE COLDEST AIR WITH THIS ARCTIC
AIR MASS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE REGION...BUT TEMPS SHOULD STILL BE
BELOW NORMAL BY MONDAY MORNING AS THE HIGH PRESSURE AREA BECOMES
CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIAN REGION. AS FOR POTENTIAL FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS ON SUNDAY...IT APPEARS THAT WINDS WILL EXCEED RED
FLAG CRITERIA ACROSS SOUTHWEST VA AND NORTHEAST TN...BUT RHS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 30% MOST EVERYWHERE DUE TO THE COLD TEMPS.
THUS...NOT CONFIDENT THAT RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE MET ON SUNDAY
AND WILL NOT ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH. AS FOR TEMPS...GUIDANCE
NUMBERS LOOK TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...
BUT WILL TREND TOWARD A COMPROMISE WHERE DIFFERENCES ARE NOTED.
.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...CONTINUE TO SEE RUN TO RUN
DIFFERENCES IN DETAILS ON APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM. WILL KEEP
20-30 POPS FOR LATE TUESDAY. THOUGH THERE REMAINS SOME DISCREPANCY
IN TIMING...MAIN ROUND OF PRECIP STILL LOOKS TO BE TUESDAY NIGHT.
POPS WERE INCREASED TO LIKELY CATEGORY FOR THIS PERIOD. PRECIP
SHOULD END FROM WEST TO EAST ON WEDNESDAY. WILL BE BETWEEN SYSTEMS
THURSDAY...AND WILL MOVE INTO AN UNSETTLE WEATHER PATTERN FOR FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY.
