What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Morristown, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 21, 9:53 PM EDT, 2 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 9:53 PM EDT, 2 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Morristown TN 953 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019 .DISCUSSION... Large bowing MCS continues to work east across Middle TN and southcentral/southeast KY this evening. Out ahead, a warm front and consequent swly moisture advection continue to move into the TN Valley at this time. Thus, am expecting continued elevated CAPE levels regionwide, with the most unstable regions along/west of the I75 corridor tonight. The primary threat tonight will be damaging winds along/ahead of the passing MCS, some gusts as high as 60-70mph are expected. Also, backed flow out ahead of the front could enhance localized llv helicity, therefore a few embedded tornadoes cannot be ruled out. All said, looking at a stormy night across east TN and southwest VA/NC with timing as follows. Latest HRRR runs favor intrusion of the bowing line across the Plateau by 11PM, then moving east/southeast approaching the I75 corridor by around midnight, before moving further east across the I81 corridor into the foothills/mountains closer to the 2AM timeframe. Severe Thunderstorm Watch 419 continues through 2AM. As for the fcst, tweaked pops to align with current coverage westward, as well as latest CAMPOP trends over the next 3-4 hours. No other sig changes needed/made with this update. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
