.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 933 AM CDT TUE MAY 14 2013/
ANOTHER NICE DAY IS UNDERWAY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS MORNING
WITH CURRENT TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 63F IN FORT PAYNE TO 70F
ALREADY AT MUSCLE SHOALS. SFC HIGH PRESSURE IS SHIFTING EASTWARD OVER
THE CAROLINAS, AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE
REGION FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO ANOTHER WARM AND DRY DAY
FOR THE CWFA, WITH SOUTHWESTERLY SFC WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 15-20KTS
LATER THIS MORNING/THROUGH THE AFTN. THIS IS DUE TO THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENING BETWEEN THE DEPARTING SFC HIGH TO THE EAST AND
A SFC LOW WELL NORTHWEST OF HERE.

THE CURRENT FORECAST HANDLES BOTH ONGOING/EXPECTED TRENDS FOR TODAY,
SO NO CHANGES WERE NECESSARY.

WILL FRESHEN MORNING WORDING IN ZONES AND RESEND THEM SHORTLY.
