.DISCUSSION...
Line of storms moving through Middle Tennessee will eventually
impact all of the terminals. Trends have shown these storms to be
weaker than previously forecasted, so hopefully impacts within any
storms will be less than previously anticipated. Due to the
rainfall we will likely see another round of fog overnight,
currently the confidence in ceiling/visibilities overnight is low
until we see what these storms due this afternoon.
