AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN 219 PM EDT SUN AUG 21 2005 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...MODELS AND SHORT RANGE ENSEMBLES GENERALLY AGREE THAT UPPER RIDGE THAT HAS PERSISTED OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS AND IMPEDED INFILTRATION OF DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR FROM THE NORTH WILL GRUDGINGLY RETREAT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH WILL STAY MAINLY NORTH OF OUR AREA...BUT THE COMBINATION OF THE RETREATING RIDGE AND INFLUENCES FROM NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH WILL ALLOW HEIGHTS TO FALL INCREMENTALLY. THIS SUGGESTS TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER...ALBEIT STILL ABOVE CLIMO. THE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES ARE DEPICTING ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD. HAVE GENERALLY STAYED WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST IN TERM OF POPS. FOR TEMPS...FOLLOWED GUIDANCE BLEND FAIRLY CLOSELY FOR THE MOST PART. .LONG TERM...(MON NIGHT THROUGH SUN)...CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH FOR THE LONGER TERM AS MODELS CONTINUE TO LACK RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY. LOOKS LIKE LESS DRYING THAN EARLIER ADVERTISED...BUT DETAILS ON TIMING ANY PRECIP DIFFICULT AT BEST. THERE COULD BE A WEAK IMPULSE AT SOME POINT EARLY ON...BUT GIVEN UNCERTAINTY FOR NOW THINK THE BEST IDEA IS JUST TO CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR MON NIGHT THROUGH TUE NIGHT. GFS STILL TRYING TO ADVERTISE SOME DRYING AS RIDGING ALOFT COMBINES WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHEAST FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. WILL GO AHEAD AND KEEP CURRENT DRY FORECAST FOR WED THROUGH SAT...THEN A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR DAY 7 AS A WEAK FRONT MAY BE APPROACHING. WILL NOT ARGUE MUCH WITH GFS MOS TEMPS...JUST A FEW MINOR TWEAKS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
