Fxus64 kmrx 191851 afdmrx area forecast discussion national weather service morristown tn 251 pm edt Mon aug 19 2019 Short term (tonight and Tuesday)... Mid upper level ridging to our west will continue to extend into our area for the short term period, with the air mass over our region undergoing little change. Ongoing convection is expected to wane quickly toward sunset, with a mostly clear sky over much of the area tonight. Model soundings for tomorrow look similar to today. Expect convection to fire first in the higher terrain around noon, and outflow boundaries moving into the valley may trigger isolated convection there as well as the afternoon progresses. Mav temps look too low for MAX temperatures Tuesday as has been the case recently, so will go higher than guidance again. Heat index values should top out from the mid 90s to around 100 across most of the valley. Long term (Tuesday night through Monday)... We begin Tuesday night with a distinct shortwave moving from il in into southern ohio as the strong ridge in the southern plains begins to slowly retreat. A few cams are showing an MCS moving ese into parts of northeast tn and southwest va between 03 and 05z. Deep layer shear is substantially weaker over our region compared to farther north, but there will be lingering instability well into the night with mlcapes progged at 1000-1500 j kg. If the convective complex has a strong enough cold pool, think it's feasible that showers storms will impact at least the northern valley and southwest va between 03 and 06z. The SPC has put the entire region in a marginal risk Tuesday night, so have increased pops to higher chance category the first half of the night. The main threat would be damaging winds. The deep layer ridge over the south central u.S. Will further retreat to the western u.S. Wednesday allowing a longwave trough to begin developing in the great lakes and ohio valley. This will force a cold front slowly southward. Before this front gets here, southwesterly WAA and lingering ridging aloft will maintain very hot and humid weather Wednesday. Heat indices in the low 100's will continue across parts of the southern valley. Diurnal convection will be more widespread Wednesday afternoon with projected soundings showing increasing moisture and instability along with limited capping. Pwats will range from 1.60 to 1.90 inches with MLCAPE of 1500-2000 j kg. At this time, will go with chance pops for scattered convection Wednesday since the forcing will still be well to the

north. The mid level trough will continue deepening Wednesday night and Thursday pushing the cold front into ky, and perhaps into the tn valley by Thursday afternoon. The GFS remains faster with this front compared to the ecmwf. Due to the strong ridge and august climatology, am leaning toward the slower ecmwf. Nevertheless, the increasing large scale forcing for ascent, deep moisture, and instability will cause showers storms to be on the increase. Maintained chance pops Wednesday night increasing to likely Thursday. The boundary still looks to struggle to completely push through our region Thursday night and Friday, so its exact placement remains uncertain. Since the boundary will be oriented e-w somewhere in our vicinity and the mid upper flow will be wnw allowing weak disturbances to ripple through, we will continue to see fairly widespread coverage of thunderstorms during peak heat with lingering showers at night. Kept chance pops Thursday night with likely pops central southern areas Friday. The high moisture environment and multiple rounds of convection could lead to localized flooding in a few spots, but recent dry weather should keep this isolated. Went a little below nbm numbers for temps Thursday and Friday due to increased clouds. The upper trough will slowly pull away Saturday and Sunday with a weak overall flow regime returning to the tn valley and southern appalachians as the northern stream jet returns more zonal. The old frontal boundary will either wash out or retreat back north, so have chance pops for mainly diurnal convection and temps near normal late august values. Further height rises Monday and deepening southwesterly flow will allow for temps warming above normal again.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
