STRONG SFC LOW IS NOW LOCATED OVER MIDDLE TN AND WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE NE FOR THE REMAINDER OF TONIGHT. MEANWHILE THE UPPER LOW IS
CENTERED OVER WRN TN. SHRA/TSRA ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM
HAVE DECREASED IN AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. HOWEVER WITH A 50 KT
LLJ A FEW TSRA MAY PRODUCE STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS AS THEY MOVE
QUICKLY TO THE NE EARLY THIS MRNG. AS FOR RAINFALL...THE HEAVIEST
RAIN OF 1 TO 2 INCHES FELL MAINLY OVER OUR EXTREME SERN ZONES. THE
LEAST AMOUNT OF RAIN WAS OVER NWRN AL WITH ARND ONE HALF OF AN
INCH...WITH ARND ONE INCH ELSEWHERE. THUS BASED ON RADAR TRENDS AND
MODEL DATA WENT AHEAD AND CANCELLED THE FFA FOR THE ENTIRE CWA. WILL
KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY GOING THRU MIDNIGHT DUE TO 8H WINDS ARND 50
KTS FOR MOST OF THIS TIME FRAME. WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH
SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TODAY AND PORTIONS OF TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE TEMPS WILL START OUT THIS MRNG (12Z) IN THE 50S. HOWEVER AS
THE CDFNT MOVES ACROSS THE CWA LATER THIS MRNG...TEMPS WILL FALL
INTO THE LOWER 40S BY THE LATE AFTN. THUS A RAW WINDY DAY SHAPING UP
WITH CLOUDS AND SCT LIGHT RAIN. THE LIGHT RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TONIGHT
BUT MAY MIX WITH SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. NO ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED.
BASED ON THE NAM AND ECMWF WILL GO AHEAD AND END THE CHC OF LIGHT PCPN
ON THURSDAY SINCE IT LOOKS TO DRY ATTM.

WILL KEEP THURSDAY THRU SATURDAY DRY AS A SFC RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE
REGION. BY SUNDAY A CDFNT WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE TN VALLEY
ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY. ATTM NOT SURE IF THE PCPN
CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO TUESDAY BUT THE SUPER BLEND MODELS ARE
SHOWING LOW POPS...SO WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHC OF PCPN ON TUESDAY. FOR
NOW WILL KEEP PCPN AS SHRA SINCE WIND SHEAR AND INSTABILITIES LOOKS
TOO WEAK.

TO WARM UP BY SUNDAY AND INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK (IN THE MID
