Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Morristown TN
1042 AM EDT TUE SEP 27 2016

.DISCUSSION...Current forecast on track this morning. Surface obs
show the front just on the other side of the Appalachians, which
is where it will reside for most of the day. Clearing has begun a
little quicker than anticipated as evident by visible satellite
imagery. Areas in the clear stretch from Morgan County up through
Wise County VA in a southwest to northeast fashion. This clearing
line will continue to gradually push east southeast through the
day. Most of the central valley should be cloud free by early
afternoon. Our far eastern areas will hang on to clouds longest
due to some low level moisture pooling up against the foothills.
Leaving slight chance pop in for portions of the mountains due to front
still in the vicinity. No major updates to forecast, mainly just
tweaking timing of clearing for this afternoon. Will send out new
zones.
