The nearest sounding before it
Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 9.6 hours before the alert went out and 151 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

DGSWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Morristown, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 2, 2:39 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 2:39 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
339 PM EDT MON JUL 2 2012
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...SHORTWAVES TRACKING THROUGH THE
AREA BRINGING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. THE HIGHEST CHANCES WILL ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA. MAY SEE A FEW STRONG STORMS TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
BE COOLER ON TUESDAY...BUT STILL ABOVE NORMAL.
.LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...THE UPPER HIGH THAT
SHIFTED WEST THIS PAST WEEKEND HAS PUT THE FORECAST AREA UNDER A
BRIEF NW FLOW REGIME THAT IS EXPECTED TO LAST THROUGH THE HOLIDAY.
ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL LINGER INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE VERY UNSTABLE BY LATE
AFTERNOON.
BOTH GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRANSLATING IN
THE MEAN FLOW ON THE NORTHEASTERN FRINGE OF THE HIGH BACK OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS PATTERN WOULD FAVOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. ONCE AGAIN...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE PRIMED AS INSTABILITY
INCREASES. LIFTED INDICES FROM -4 TO -8 DEGREES C AND CAPE NEAR 1500
J/KG WILL SUPPORT THUNDERSTORMS. IN PARTICULAR...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA
AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE LOOK LIKE THE BEST BET AS THESE LOCATIONS
WILL BE CLOSER TO THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. WEDNESDAY IS THE 4TH OF
JULY AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES MAY BE HINDERED BY THE STORMS. PEOPLE
ARE REMINDED THAT IF THEY ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HEAR THUNDER THEY ARE
CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
AFTER WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK OVER
THE REGION NEARLY SQUASHING ANY PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK INTO THE EARLY WEEKEND. HIGHER TERRAIN OVER FAR
EASTERN TN AND SW VA WILL BE FAVORED AREAS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
THE UPPER RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AGAIN ON SUNDAY AND THIS TIME IT LOOKS
LIKE A LONG TERM PATTERN CHANGE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT...MODELS ARE
HINTING AT A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. THE NORTHWEST FLOW WOULD HELP STEER STORMS THAT FORM OVER THE
MS/OH VALLEYS INTO MIDDLE AND EAST TN. STILL A LONG WAYS OUT BUT FUN
TO THINK ABOUT AFTER THE RECORD BREAKING OF RECENT PAST. NOT ONLY
WOULD SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR ARRIVE BUT MUCH NEEDED PRECIPITATION WOULD
BRING RELIEF TO THE DRIEST AREAS.
