EMHWhat 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 Nov 30, 4:29 AM EST, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 30, 4:29 AM EST, 1 hour 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Morristown TN
429 AM EST Wed Nov 30 2016
.SHORT TERM (Today)...
Strong low level southerly winds coupled with a very moist boundary
layer having dewpoints into the middle 60s and MLCAPE values of
250-500 are supporting severe storm activity across the area this
morning. Expect this to continue at least into the late morning
until the 850 mb jet finally lifts NE of the area.
Coupled with the ongoing severe threat, excessive rainfall remains
a serious issue with radar estimated totals already reaching to
near 3 inches in spots and a rather large swath of 1-2 inches
extending NE along the I-75 corridor. Three hour flash flood
guidance ranges from 2-3 inches area wide. With next round of rain
this morning expected to produce an additional 1-2 inches in
spots, potential for flash flooding will need to monitored closely.
Categorical pops through the early afternoon before the front
finally makes a push east and we see decreasing pops west to east
by this evening.
.LONG TERM (Tonight through Tuesday)...
Big question is the weekend forecast which has fairly good model
agreement through Sunday morning on the evolution of an
overrunning event. With overnight lows fcst to be in the middle 30s
over all but our SW VA counties... where lows are going to be
hovering near freezing coupled with timing of pcpn, would not rule
out period of mixed pcpn very early Sunday morning over some spots
in SW VA. Will need to monitor this closely over the next day or so
in order to better refine pcpn type/duration in that area Sunday
morning.
By late Sunday guidance starts to diverge significantly with GFS
developing a gulf low by Monday night while the ECMWF forces
everything east leaving the area under influence of high pressure
and remaining rather dry. Even the GFS ensemble 500 mb heights are
strongly divergent with two bulls-eye lows showing up in the
members. The first is over western texas and other over western
Tennessee. Given the divergence of the solutions...went with a pure
blended solution of chance pops across the area for now.
