THE 19Z SURFACE AND IR/VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED THAT A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AT 500 MILLIBARS WAS MOVING EAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST MISSOURI INTO WEST TENNESSEE. A WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT WAS LAGGING BEHIND THE TROUGH ACROSS EASTERN MISSOURI...EXTENDING SOUTH INTO EASTERN ARKANSAS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER WEAK 500 MILLIBAR SHORTWAVE WERE ALSO MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA AND INTO THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. WITH ENHANCED CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY REGION...TEMPS WERE STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT MUCH OUT OF THE LOWER TO MID 80S. AS OF 19Z...THE CLOUD COVER WAS LIKELY INSTRUMENTAL THUS FAR IN HOLDING DOWN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHRA/TSRA AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA.
