Severe Thunderstorm Warning 103, NWS Morristown, TN

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Morristown TN
1144 AM EDT Tue Aug 13 2019

.DISCUSSION...
Wanted to give everyone an update on the timing of the storms
today. Latest surface analysis shows an outflow boundary moving
into the northern Plateau. This boundary will catch up with the
developing lie of storms over the Plateau into far western
Virginia. This line of storms will be the main strong to severe
storms for southwest Virgina and east Tennessee along and north of
interstate 40 (timing between now and 2-3 pm).

Areas south of interstate 40, we expect another storm complex to
develop over middle Tennessee then move southeast into the area
from 2 pm ET to 6-7 pm ET.

The main threat remains the same being damaging winds, marginal
hail up to quarter size, frequent lightning and heavy rains that
may cause isolated flash flooding.

Heat index values are expected to approach 105 degrees across the
southern and central TN valley on Tuesday, including Knoxville
