Daily Weather Summary
June 23, 1999:
Weather pattern becoming very active in TN. Strong 500 mb shortwave digging into MS River Valley. Ahead of this, surface pressure falling over the Southeastern US, and winds increasing out of the south. Expect SSWly winds this afternoon, around 20-25 kts at 850 mb. With lots of moisture and moderate instability, coupled with upward motion due to approaching shortwave, expect rain showers and scattered thunderstorms to overspread the area this afternoon. High: 84 Low: 70. Mixing Hgt.: 2000 m MSL.
Tomorrow's Forecast
June 24, 1999:
Shortwave moves through west TN and into middle TN by afternoon, with rain and scattered thunderstorms continuing on Thursday morning. Rain may taper off by afternoon as shortwave moves to the east, but winds will still be gusty as 850 mb low moves to our north, with 850 mb winds WNW around 15 to 20 kts. High: 84 Low: 71
Day after Tomorrow Forecast
June 25, 1999:
AVN/MRF close off 500 mb low over the area, but we feel ETA solution of moving it on out of here looks more accurate. However, in either event, moisture will stay high, and with unstable air, expect partly to mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers and thunderstorms. High:87 Low: 72
Outlook
June 26 - 28, 1999:
Best chance for scattered thunderstorms will be on Saturday, with decreasing chances Sunday and Monday most likely. Highs: near 88. Lows: near 70.
