Area forecast discussion...updated 
National Weather Service Morristown Tennessee 
250 PM EDT Wednesday Aug 20 2008 


Short term (tonight and tomorrow)... 
very little change in the overall weather pattern is expected over 
the next 24 hours as high pressure remains entrenched over New 
England and Kay remains nearly stationary over Florida. Scattered 
cumulus this afternoon will dissipate with sunset...leaving clear skies 
overnight. Forecast soundings tomorrow indicate continued midlevel 
stability that will cap convection...along with dry low level air. 
Leaned toward the warmer GFS MOS temperatures tomorrow as cumulus should remain 
scattered and downslope flow will enhance warming slightly. Temperatures 
should be moderated slightly by lower 1000-850 thicknesses and a 
slightly stronger pressure gradient giving a little more breeze 
than today. 


Long term (thursday night through wednesday)... 
upper ridge remains in place over the eastern U.S. Through 
Saturday...while models trending towards keeping Fay/S track well 
to our south. As such... have continued with a dry forecast through 
Saturday. Confidence quite low through the rest of the 
extended...especially concerning the movement of the remnants of 
Fay. Will trend toward GFS which brings the remnants of Fay into 
the region around Monday night/Tuesday. During this time 
frame...models also indicated a cold front moving through the area. 
Will...therefore...keep chance probability of precipitation during this period. As the 
system begins to pull away from the region on Wednesday...will keep 
some low probability of precipitation to around 20 percent. Kept temperatures near to slightly 
above guidance.
