AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MORRISTOWN TN 1030 AM EDT SAT JUN 5 2010 .DISCUSSION...WILL UP DATE ZONES TO REFLECT TIMING ISSUES ONLY. ALL ASPECTS OF THE ZONES LOOK GOOD. THE ONLY REAL "CONCERN" IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND WITH SUCH WEAK STEERING WINDS THEY WILL MOVE SLOWLY. VAST MAJORITY OF PLACES WILL SEE NO RAIN, BUT THOSE WHO DO GET THE STRAY THUNDERSTORM WILL GET SOAKED. SOME ISOLATED BRIEF MINOR FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE BETWEEN 175 AND 190% OF NORMAL FOR THE DATE, WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING FOR LATE SPRING/EARLY SUMMER. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
