AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
315 PM EDT FRI JUN 22 2001

FORECAST PROBLEM WITH PRECIPITATION EARLY TONIGHT. FRONTAL
POSITION DIFFICULT TO FIND AS LOW LEVELS CURRENTLY MIXED AROUND
BY RECENT CONVECTION. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE THE WIND SHIFT IS
LEAP FROGGING E TN VALLEY WHILE PRESSURE FALLS ARE OCCURRING
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS. FRONTAL ZONE AND TROUGHING ALOFT TILTS
BACK TO THE WEST TO AXIS OF TROUGH AROUND W TN. MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING IN GOOD LAYER DRYING ESPECIALLY SW
PART. AM CONCERNED ABOUT WESTWARD SLOPE OF TROUGHING AND WITH
THE BACKING MID LEVEL WINDS. HOWEVER ISENTROPIC SURFACES DO
NOT SHOW MUCH UPGLIDE. ALSO DECENT POT VORT AND LAPSE RATES
MOVE OVER AREA TONIGHT. BUT SO FAR THESE FEATURES HAVE NOT BEEN
STRONG ENOUGH TO LIFT UP SHOWERS TO OUR WEST SO WILL
DISREGARD FOR NOW. SO FOR TONIGHT...WILL GO WITH FAIRLY LOW
ON THE POPS (CLOSER TO NGM). AND WILL USE EVENING GROUP TO
DEAL WITH CURRENT CONVECTION.
THE TROUGH AXIS MOVES OVER MRX CWA TOMORROW. THERE IS
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND LAPSE RATES TO SUPPORT LOW CHC/SLGT
POPS NE PART MAINLY OVER ELEVATED AREAS. OTHERWISE REMAINDER
OF SHORT TERM SHOWS DRY CONDITIONS WITH THICKNESS FALLS
RESULTING IN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
