What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Jan 30, 3:15 PM EST, 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 30, 3:15 PM EST, 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
315 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...CURRENT SURFACE
ANALYSIS SHOWS A COLD FRONT OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WITH ANOTHER
SECONDARY COLD FRONT FURTHER WEST OVER THE LOWER OHIO AND WESTERN TN
RIVER VALLEYS. A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE MS
RIVER VALLEY WILL SWING EASTWARD OVER THE TN RIVER VALLEY THIS
EVENING...CONTINUING TO GENERATE AN EXTENSIVE AREA OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN WITH AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE.
THUS...WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCH INTO THIS EVENING...SINCE THIS
RAIN WILL FALL ON ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS FROM THE SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL EARLIER THIS MONTH. AS FOR THE WIND ADVISORIES AND
WARNINGS...WIND SPEEDS FROM THE LATEST OBS ARE WELL BELOW ADVISORY
AND WARNING LEVELS...BUT MODELS INDICATE THAT WINDS WILL INCREASE
AGAIN THIS EVENING WITH THE SECONDARY FRONT. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS
THAT WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA OUTSIDE OF THE
MOUNTAINS...SO WILL CANCEL THE WIND ADVISORIES AND WARNING FOR
EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE MOUNTAINS WHERE A WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN
EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THE
VERTICAL TEMP PROFILE WILL COOL QUICKLY LATER THIS EVENING...AS THE
SECONDARY FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...BY THE
TIME THE RAIN CHANGES TO SNOW...IT APPEARS RIGHT NOW THAT THE BULK
OF THE MOISTURE WILL HAVE EXITED THE FORECAST AREA WITH ONLY LIGHT
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH OR TWO POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. AS FOR TEMPS...GFS AND NAM GUIDANCE NUMBERS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND LOOK REASONABLE.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...WEATHER DURING THIS PERIOD
OF THE FORECAST SHOULD BE MORE TYPICAL OF WINTER AS A LONG WAVE
TROUGH HOLDS ITS POSITION OVER THE EASTERN U.S. AT LEAST A COUPLE OF
SHORTER WAVELENGTH FEATURES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIAN REGION IN THE PREVAILING NORTHWEST FLOW. THE FIRST
FEATURE WILL MOVE TOWARD THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING WITH MODELS
AGREEING IMPACT NOT OCCURRING UNTIL THE AFTERNOON HOURS. LOOKS LIKE
TEMPERATURES MAY NOT RISE SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AS WELL AS THE HIGHER TERRAIN ACROSS
SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION
BEGINS AROUND MID DAY INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THEREFORE...STAYED
WITH SNOW SHOWERS AS PREDOMINANT PRECIP TYPE IN THESE AREAS WHILE
MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA MAY BE WARM ENOUGH FOR
RAIN. THE SHORT WAVE CONTINUES THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT AND
PRECIPITATION WOULD LIKELY CHANGE TO LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME BUT THE SHORT WAVE WILL BE
MOVING RAPIDLY EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT BRINGING AN END TO ANY FROZEN
PRECIP ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS BY MIDNIGHT. KEPT UPSLOPE
SNOW SHOWERS GOING ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN OVER SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND
ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA BORDER THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING WHEN THE LOW
LEVEL FLOW DRIES OUT. VALLEY LOCATIONS AROUND CENTRAL EAST TENNESSEE
MAY SEE A DUSTING WITH THIS EVENT WHILE LOWER ELEVATIONS ACROSS
NORTHEAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA MAY SEE AMOUNTS AROUND
ONE INCH. HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS MAINLY OVER SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND
ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA BORDER COULD SEE AT LEAST A COUPLE INCHES
WITH THE CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM. THE FORECAST AREA DRIES OUT COMPLETELY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH ABOUT MONDAY AFTERNOON WHEN THE NEXT SHORT
WAVE AND ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEM BUILD SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE
REGION. MODELS NOT ENTIRELY IN AGREEMENT AT THIS TIME SO KEPT POPS
IN A LOW CHANCE CATEGORY. LOOKS LIKE ENOUGH WARMING AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM FOR PRECIP TO BE MAINLY IN THE FORM OF RAIN BUT MAY END AS
SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. WAS
ABLE TO KEEP WEDNESDAY DRY WITH SOME RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.
