Severe Thunderstorm Warning 100, NWS Morristown, TN

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Morristown TN
1017 AM EDT Tue Jun 26 2018

.DISCUSSION...Forecast for remainder of today looks reasonable
overall, with best coverage of showers and thunderstorms expected
to be north closest to what is left of a weak and nearly
stationary frontal boundary. However, will beef up PoPs a bit
across the south as convective energy will be increased there
with expected solar heating. Still appears strong winds will be
the primary threat with any strong to severe storms and will keep
mention in the HWO. Will tweak some temps, dew points, and sky.
Update out soon.
