Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED

.UPDATE...
To remove/expire Flash Flood Watch. No other changes at this time
to forecast.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 641 AM EST Thu Nov 15 2018/

SHORT TERM /Today through Friday/... The final wave of
precipitation is moving across the area with several north-south
oriented lines of heavier rainfall moving across the area. The
rainfall will taper off from west to east as the Upper low lifts
through the Tennessee Valley by daybreak this morning and
continues into the Ohio Valley by this afternoon. The associated
surface low will also lift to the northeast, over the Carolinas by
early this afternoon. As the upper level trough base shifts over
the Carolinas by 18Z, this will push the moisture flow off the
Gulf of Mexico east of the forecast area, allowing drier air to
filter into the area under west-northwest flow aloft. Have
continued the Flood Watch through 7am, with the areas of heavy
rains lifting northward over the same area, we may see isolated
Flash Flood warnings through this morning until the moderate rain
tapers off at most locations by noontime. Please see the Flood
Watch for more information. Surface winds will also shift from
northeast to northwest and west this morning, which will also aid
in drier air filtering into the area. While low clouds will be
slow to lift through this afternoon, as the upper level trough
lifts away from the forecast area it will allow surface high
pressure and more zonal flow to set up which will allow skies to
clear quickly this evening. Surface winds will be slow to
diminish, with 10-15mph winds continuing until just before
daybreak. While radiational cooling will have a hard time setting
up, temperatures will drop into the upper 20s to lower 30s across
much of the forecast area and have issued a freeze warning for
tonight with temperatures below freezing expected between midnight
and 8am, please see the Freeze Warning for more information.
Temperatures on Friday will remain cooler than normal but should
be in the 50s, up to 10 degrees warmer than the past few days in
several locations. Have stayed close to guidance temperatures
through the period.

Atwell

LONG TERM /Friday Night through Wednesday/...

Dry weather looks like it will dominate our area through the middle
of next week. The long term period begins with high pressure over
the southeast and a broad westerly flow aloft. A frontal boundary
pushes into the TN Valley on Monday but GFS and ECMWF show the
associated moisture diminishing as the front moves into GA. For now
will keep Monday dry. After that...northwest flow aloft prevails
over the southeast...with another front crossing the Appalachians
late Tuesday or early Wednesday. This front also looks like it will
be moisture starved. Temperatures will moderate through the period.

AVIATION...
12Z Update...
RA will taper off west to east through 18Z.  CIGs will slowly
improve to MVFR by 21Z with drier air bringing VFR around 00Z.
Winds remain from the E/NE 5-10 kts but will diminish to light and
variable before shifting to the NW over ATL/CSG/MCN by 15Z and
AHN by 18Z, with wind speeds increasing to 10G20kts through 05Z
with 10kts continuing at most TAF site through 12Z.
