.DISCUSSION...

ISOLATED CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST
TENNESSEE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS DUE TO AN UPPER SHORTWAVE
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION TOGETHER WITH AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION THAT OCCURRED OVER MISSOURI. THIS
CONVECTION IS WEAKENING AS IT MOVES EASTWARD INTO SLIGHTLY DRIER
AIR AS INDICATED BY SURFACE DEW POINTS. ADDITIONAL REDEVELOPMENT
WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
ISOLATED CONVECTION STILL POSSIBLE FROM THE OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
BUT AM MORE WATCHING THE COLD FRONT DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTH.
THIS MAY TRIGGER CONVECTION AS IT ARRIVES THIS EVENING.
THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE AND MICROBURST
POTENTIALS ARE REASONABLY HIGH. THUS LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS ALONG
WITH SMALL HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE MORE INTENSE STORMS. THE
UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL BE PUSHING NORTHEAST OF THE
REGION...THUS WIDESPREAD EVENT UNLIKELY.

FRONT WILL BE LINGERING ACROSS NORTH MS TOMORROW AND AN ISOLATED
STORM MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE. ALTHOUGH UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL
HAVE LARGELY ABANDONED THE SURFACE FRONT BY THIS TIME. EXPECT A
FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER WHICH ALONG WITH COOLER AIR POURING IN
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL HELP TO LOWER TEMPS SOME FROM TODAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. A
WARM UP CAN BE EXPECTED TOWARDS THE BACK HALF AS THE SURFACE HIGH
SHIFTS EAST AND UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR 850 TEMPS AROUND +20 TO ONCE AGAIN BUILD OVER THE AREA.
