What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 13, 7:17 AM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 7:17 AM EDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
National Weather Service Morristown TN
717 AM EDT Mon Apr 13 2020

.UPDATE...
FOR 12Z AVIATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)...
Area of showers with a few embedded thunderstorms is now about to
move out of the forecast area. Behind this area scattered showers
were developing across middle and west Tennessee with some
thunder. This convection is just ahead of the surface low and
front approaching Nashville at this time. Strong pressure
gradient still exists from east to west across forecast area and
also west of the front. Winds will increase again in the next few
hours ahead of the front and behind it so have extended the Wind
Advisories through early afternoon western sections and late
afternoon over the northeast. The heavy rains have caused
widespread flooding problems and will continue FFA until 900 AM.
Temperatures are near 60 across the region and should hold steady
the next few hours. There maybe some rises in the eastern sections
this morning. But with the strong cold front moving in by early
afternoon temperatures will begin to fall later in the day.
Tonight temperatures will fall into the mid 30s to lower 40s.
Could be some patchy frost but winds should stay about 5 to 10 mph
from the north and northwest through most of the night so little
frost expected.

TD

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday night)...
Below normal temperatures will be the main story of the long-term
period. A shortwave will amplify longwave troughing across the
Eastern CONUS on Tuesday and Tuesday night with some light rain or
snow showers expected across the area as a cold front moves
through. Snow should be light and limited to the higher
elevations. Surface high pressure moves in on Wednesday and
Thursday. With much colder air across the area, expect below
normal temperatures on Tuesday through Thursday. In addition,
widespread frost and freeze risk will be possible on Tuesday
night, and even moreso, on Wednesday night through Thursday
morning.

Southwest flow increases Friday with warmer temperatures near normal
by late week into the weekend. Models diverge on timing next
weekend, but another approaching trough and surface cold front in
forecast to bring increasing rain chances on Saturday and Sunday.
Did not include higher than chance PoPs at this time because of
large model differences next weekend.

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Gusty winds will be the main aviation issue across the area this
morning. Gusts of 35-45 kts are expected at all sites, dropping
off during the afternoon to 20-30 kts. Clouds will be at the
MVFR/VFR margins through the day. Based on current obs will lean
the forecast toward the predominant VFR side but some periods of
MVFR will be possible. After 00Z, clouds will clear out and winds
will shift to north and become light.
