THE BULK OF THE PRECIP WILL BE WEST AND NORTH OF TN WHERE AMPLE UPPER DIVERGENCE KEEPS THE CONVECTION GOING AT NIGHT. FOR TN HOWEVER...AFTERNOON HEATING WILL COMBINE WITH THE EFFECTS OF THE TROUGH TO PRODUCE SCT CONVECTION THROUGH SATURDAY. UPPER RIDGE WILL BE RATHER STRONG BUT WILL BE CONFINED PRIMARILY TO THE DEEP SOUTH REGION OF MS AND AL. WESTERLIES OVER TN WILL BE JUST STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH A FEW DISTURBANCES EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY...THEREBY KEEPING THE SCT CONVECTION GOING.

AT ANY RATE...WILL LEAN TOWARD A TREND AND THEREBY REDUCE POPS AND KEEP TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 01
