AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN 300 PM EDT WED JUN 21 2006 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)...A WEAK SHORT-WAVE IS MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY TOWARD SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. CONVECTION HAS BEEN LIMITED WITH THIS WAVE THUS FAR...BUT GIVEN FAIRLY DECENT INSTABILITY FEEDING INTO THE WAVE (CAPES 2500-3000 J/KG)...I DO EXPECT SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE.

FOR THURSDAY...UPPER RIDGE STRENGTHENS OVER THE FORECAST AREA WITH ONLY LIFTING FEATURE BEING LOCAL TERRAIN FEATURES. PLAN ON FOLLOWING THE GFS POPS (ISOLATED STORMS AT BEST)...EXCEPT FOR CHANCE POPS FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

THUS...WILL MENTION THE HIGHEST POPS FOR THIS WEEKEND WITH THE AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION EXPECTED TO INCREASE. AS FOR TEMPS...WILL GO WITH MOSTLY A PERSISTENCE FORECAST THROUGH THE EXTENDED...BUT WITH A SMALLER DIURNAL RANGE SINCE THE AIRMASS WILL BE MORE HUMID. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
