Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Morristown TN
959 AM EST Wed Mar 1 2017

.DISCUSSION...
A fast-moving bow segement will be moving across the northern
half of the area between 10 am and around 1230 pm, with damaging
straight-line winds being the greatest threat. There is an
isolated tornado threat as well as SR helicity values are very
high and LCL heights are low. For the southern half, the severe
threat will be this afternoon based on the more E-W orientation of
storms across southern Middle TN. The tornado threat may increase
for southern sections due to backed surface winds in that area,
and longer timing for temperatures to rise ahead of the storms.

The update will tweak PoP/Wx grids for more accurate timing, and
temperatures will be adjusted closer to obs. No changes will be
made to the Wind Advisory.

through early this evening...with Widespread Damaging Winds the
Main Concern...

...Windy Conditions Developing Area-wide Today...

A Severe Thunderstorm watch is in effect for most of East

up to 50 mph will be possible across the Southern Appalachians and
