AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
1254 PM CDT THU SEP 6 2001

EXPECT UPPER TROF, WHICH EXTENDED FROM THE WESTERN DAKOTAS INTO
SRN TX AT 12Z, TO MOVE EWD NEXT 12 TO 24 HRS AND BECOME ORIENTED
NE-TO-SW NEAR MS RIVER. AS INDICATED BY MODELS, ASSOCIATED SHEAR
AXIS SHOULD MOVE ONLY SLOWLY EWD AFTER 24 HRS, AS SHORTWAVE DROPS
OUT OF CENTRAL ROCKIES INTO NRN TX AND DEEPENS MID U.S. TROF.
NEVERTHELESS, MAY SEE AN INCREASE IN TSTMS DUE TO THIS FEATURE
OVER OUR WRN COUNTIES FRI NIGHT. IN ADDITION 1000-500MB MOISTURE
INCREASES NICELY BY THEN.

BY 00Z SUN, SFC FNT PUSHES TO NEAR A LINE FROM NERN WISCONSIN TO
NERN TX. BY THAT TIME, DEEP MOISTURE PREVAILS OVER ALL OF OUR FA
AND AN EXCELLENT BREEDING GROUND FOR TSTMS. BY 12Z SUN, AVN BRINGS
SFC FNT AS FAR EWD AS THE TN RIVER, AS MID-U.S. TROF PICKS UP
STEAM AND PULLS INTO THE MIDWEST.

WILL LIKELY KEEP NEW ZFP IN SIMILAR SHAPE AS THE LAST ONE, WITH
INCREASING POPS WITH TIME, AND A FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SUNDAY.

PREFER HIGHER MAV POPS ON FRI FOR OUR WRN AREAS, WHERE MOISTURE
WILL BE DEEPEST. PRETTY DECENT SHRA/TSTM DEVELOPMENT NOTED OVER
WRN TN AND WRN MIDDLE TN TODAY, AND WOULDNT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
SIMILAR CONDITIONS OVER WRN MIDDLE TN TOMORROW.
