AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN 1030 PM EDT TUE APR 12 2005 .DISCUSSION...LOOKS LIKE THE FCST WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY FOR THE AFTERNOON AS MAIN S/WV ROTATES NE WITH MAIN IMPACT ON SW VA/NE TN. LOWERING POPS FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST SEEMS TO BE THE WAY TO GO. HOWEVER EXPECT SOME HEATING WITH THE LOSS OF MID/UPR LVL CLOUD DECK ASSOCIATED WITH WAVE AS BREAKS DEVELOP IN LOW LVL CLOUDS AHEAD OF CD FNT. MODELS INDICATE SOME INSTABILITY AHD OF FNT WHICH MAY GET SOME CONVECTION GOING ACROSS WESTERN/SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FA. PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS POSSIBILITY IS TO USE AREAL COVERAGE TYPE POP FOR THIS REGION. MAY NEED TO SLIGHTLY ADJUST MAX TEMPS UP AS WELL WHERE SOME BREAKS IN LOW CLOUDS DEVELOP REVEALING STRENGTHENING SPRING SUNSHINE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
