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 Mar 28, 11:05 AM EDT, 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 11:05 AM EDT, 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Morristown TN
1105 AM EDT Sun Mar 28 2021

.UPDATE...
MORNING UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Precip finally making an exit to the east and cold front sweeping
through area now west to east. Should have gusty winds this
afternoon across the area as High Pressure fills in. Wind
advisory continues in the mountains until 2pm. These stronger
winds are mainly a pre-frontal threat, so frontal passage will
offer some gusty winds, but for the higher elevations, the winds
will actually decrease, so 2pm expiration looks fine.

Temperatures will likely be dropping this afternoon as the cooler
air moves in--might be offset by diurnal heating somewhat, but
will take a while for clouds to erode from the west, so even
diurnal heating will be muted.

GM

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

For the next hour, a line of showers and some embedded
thunderstorms will move east of the terminals. Lower ceilings and
visibilities will continue mainly MVFR conditions but possibly
IFR for an hour. Showers will persist through late morning behind
initial line with mainly MVFR conditions. Gusty west to northwest
winds to about 20 knots will continue through most of the day.
Skies will begin to clear from the southwest between about 18 and
00Z. VFR conditions from about 22Z through the end of the TAF
period with winds decreasing after 00Z this evening.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A line of showers and strong thunderstorms will sweep rapidly
across the entire area this morning. The primary threat will be
damaging winds, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. A
threat of flooding will also continue across much of the area
today as more showers and storms move over the same areas that
were hit Saturday and overnight. The heavy downpours could lead to
flash flooding across the area.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

A cold airmass will move into the eastern Tennessee Valley and
Southern Appalachians Wednesday night through Thursday night.
Below freezing temperatures are expected over northern sections
Thursday morning. Much colder temperatures are forecast for Friday
morning with a hard freeze over all but the extreme southern
Tennessee Valley.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter reports may be needed today for damaging wind gusts and
flooding reports.
