.AVIATION...-- Changed Discussion --
Typical differences in flight weather across the Great
Valley from southwest to northeast are in place tonight with a
slow moving Mid Mississippi Valley low pressure system. Deep
southerly flow will be able to impact Southeast Tennessee.
Therefore, worst flight conditions will occur at cha with quite a
bit of mvfr, and even ifr weather at times; especially later
tonight. Farther northeast, tys and tri benefit from a slowly
strengthening cross terrain flow and associated warming and drying
of the lower level atmosphere. At tys there is a just a chance
for a period of mvfr flight weather, but tri may not even
experience a ceiling below seven thousand feet in this regime. The
easterly flow a the terminals will increase to around 12-15 kts
later tonight into Monday with gusts around 20-25 kts.-- End Changed Discussion --
