AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
306 PM EDT WED JUN 24 2015

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND THURSDAY/...
THIS AFTERNOON...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE QUICKLY DEVELOPED
OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN PLATEAU AND VALLEY IN A VERY UNSTABLE
ENVIRONMENT...WITH CAPE VALUES EXCEEDING 3000 J/KG IN MANY SPOTS.
THE TRIGGER FOR THIS ACTIVITY IS HEATING AND A WEAK REMNANT FRONT
DRAPED OVER THIS REGION. AS A RESULT...ANY STORMS THAT DO FIRE IN
THIS AREA WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO QUICKLY GO STRONG TO SEVERE.
LOCALIZED DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL
BE THE BIGGEST THREATS WITH THIS ACTIVITY...BEFORE IT DISSIPATES
LATE THIS EVENING TO AROUND MIDNIGHT. INSTABILITY DROPS OFF
QUICKLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-40...SO AM EXPECTING A QUIET AND DRY
AFTERNOON/EVENING OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST.

THEREAFTER...MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
NIGHT...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME PATCHY FOG LATE TONIGHT FORMING
IN SHELTERED VALLEYS. WITH THE UPPER-RIDGE STILL CONTROLLING THINGS
ON THURSDAY...AND DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED...AN EVEN WARMER DAY IS
EXPECTED WITH HIGHS REACHING THE MID 90S OVER MUCH OF THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN VALLEY. AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO IS POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN VALLEY...BUT MOST AREAS WILL BE DRY ONCE AGAIN.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD FEATURES AN INCREASE IN PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION AREA WIDE AS MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO
BUILD AHEAD OF AN AMPLIFYING EASTERN U.S. LONG WAVE TROUGH.
SCATTERED CONVECTION SHOULD FORM DURING THE AFTERNOON FRIDAY AS A
WEAK SHORT WAVE ACTS ON A MOIST AND BUOYANT LOW LEVEL AIR MASS OVER
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. HOWEVER THE BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION
WILL BE DURING THE PERIOD FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY AS
SIGNIFICANT AMPLIFICATION TO THE PATTERN OCCURS WITH A DEEPENING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY. THE
SYSTEM WILL DRAG A RELATIVELY STRONG COLD FRONT INTO THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS ON SATURDAY. WITH SUCH A WELL DEVELOPED FRONTAL SYSTEM
DRIVING SOUTHEAST INTO MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIR...CONVECTION SHOULD
BE RATHER STRONG WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS A POSSIBILITY LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY DEPENDING ON ACTUAL FRONTAL TIMING. MUCH
OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER SHOULD SHIFT EAST INTO THE CAROLINAS BY LATE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH SOME SHORT WAVE
ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE BASE OF THE DEEP EASTERN LAKES UPPER
TROUGH. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL FILL IN ON PREVAILING NORTHWEST
FLOW SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON BRINGING ANOTHER
WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE TROUGH INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY SO POPS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE
INCREASED FROM MEDIUM TO HIGH CHANCE AT THE END OF THE LONG TERM.
