AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN
745 PM EDT MON JUN 14 2004

.DISCUSSION...A COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN IS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA
THIS EVENING.  AN OLD STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS DRAPED ALONG
OUR WESTERN BORDER WITH A COLD FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST.  ADDITIONALLY
...BOUNDARIES LIE OVER OUR AREA AND TO OUR EAST AND SOUTH ASSOCIATED
WITH PRIOR CONVECTION AS WELL AS FROM AN APPROACHING SYSTEM OVER THE
GULF COAST REGION.  ALL THIS COMBINED WITH A WEAK TO MODERATELY
UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE MRX
CWA HAS ALLOWED EVENING CONVECTION TO FORM.  THUNDERSTORMS SLOWLY
DECREASING IN STRENGTH AND COVERAGE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WITH
THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.  HOWEVER...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT AS A BAND LIFTS NORTH OUT OF
AL AND GA.  ALL ON TRACK IN CURRENT FORECAST...WILL UPDATE LATER
TONIGHT TO REMOVE MIDNIGHT WORDING.

VIRGINIA AND EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION
...INCREASING IN COVERAGE BY EARLY EVENING. AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES
...THESE STORMS AND SHOWERS WILL BECOME MOST WIDESPREAD IN THE
HIGHER TERRAIN AND IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM...BUT
ESPECIALLY IN THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. RAIN RATES IN THE HEAVIEST
SHOWERS COULD EXCEED ONE INCH PER HOUR...AND OVER TWO INCHES IN
THREE HOURS. MOST SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST AT
AROUND 25 MPH.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS NORMALLY FLOOD PRONE...OR IF YOU HAVE

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AT
LEAST THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH THE THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS
REMAINING GREATER THAN THE LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE GULF COAST
REGION...AND A COLD FRONT SAGGING SOUTHWARD FROM THE OHIO VALLEY
REGION...WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WET WEATHER.
THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY DIMINISH BY FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.
