NWS Forecaster Discussion
543 fxus64 kmrx 220100 afdmrx Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Morristown Tennessee 900 PM EDT sun Mar 21 2010 Discussion...band of negatively-tilted convection continues to swing through the southern appalachian region. This event is associated with surface cold front and closed upper low currently drifting eastward through the lower Mississippi Valley region. Anticipate synoptic winds will weaken somewhat behind front. Thus plan to allow Wind Advisory to expire as scheduled for Smoky Mountains and south. Will continue as currently configured for northern mountains and foothills. Otherwise...forecast appears on track and no other changes warranted at this time. Will update zones to remove Wind Advisory as discussed and make other cosmetic wording tweaks as appropriate. && Preliminary point temps/pops...
