.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...

Main line of storms extends from Auburntown to Manchester. Looking
at a comparison of 23z and 00z instability parameters along and in
advance of that aforementioned line, we see a decrease in
instability levels. Helicity values, and surface capes are slowly
decreasing. Showalter are slowly increasing. LAL shows a slow
decrease in frequency and coverage as well.

The main sfc low is now over central MS. The event looks as though
it will unfold toward more of a flood threat across our Plateau.
As the sfc low moves across the area later tonight, rainfall in
our east may intensify once again. The flood watch still looks
good at this point. As for the tor watch, we will continue to
slowly clear the counties from west to east across our far south.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Stationary frontal boundary currently draped from sw-ne across the
mid state. Latest sfc analysis places a surface low near Tupelo
MS. This feature will ride northeastward overnight and bring an
increasing threat of heavy rainfall. Additionally, thunderstorm
activity will also be possible along and to the southeast of the
sfc low track. Rainfall will be heavy at times across southern
middle TN and the central and southern Plateau. Therefore, the CSV
area could experience some tstm activity with the potential for
higher wind gusts.

Further northwest across the remaining taf sites, these areas will
be to the northwest of the low track. Thus, tstm activity is less
likely. However, some heavier rainfall will still be possible for
the BNA and MQY areas.

Otw, look for cloudiness and shower activity to persist through
the day on Thursday. Beyond the 24 hr taf period, look for the
potential for some snowfall on Thursday night.
