DISCUSSION
OVERCAST HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS (AND SOME VIRGA) IN PLACE ACROSS THE
TN VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL TRANSITION TO A LAYER OF LOWER CLOUDS
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LIGHT RAIN EARLY THIS AFTERNOON, AS A STORM
SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE WEST. RAIN COULD BECOME
LOCALLY HEAVY AND WIDESPREAD LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING

PRECIPITATION WILL END QUICKLY FROM NW-TO-SE EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING, LEAVING CLOUDY SKIES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. SMOKE
DISPERSION WILL BE POOR TODAY (DUE TO MIXING HEIGHTS OF 1500-2000
FT.) BUT SHOULD IMPROVE TO FAIR-GENERALLY GOOD ON SATURDAY. IN THE
EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST, A SLIGHTLY COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS
WILL ENTER THE REGION FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND, BUT
THIS WILL ONLY BE TEMPORARY AS SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW WILL LEAD TO
A WARMING/MOISTENING TREND BEGINNING ON MONDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE
FOR RAINFALL WILL BEGIN PERHAPS AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY MORNING AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY.
FOG POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS: CONDITIONS WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY FOG EARLY SUNDAY AND
MONDAY MORNINGS.
