Daily Weather Summary
July 15, 1999:
Most of the low morning St clouds and fog have burned off now, but on satellite a zone of mesoscale convergence can be seen over middle Tennessee, basically from BNA on to the W and S. In this zone, the Cu clouds are greatly enhanced, and a few showers are developing, as seen on OHX 88D radar. With further heating, a few more showers, and maybe some isolated thunderstorms, will develop in this band. The band was moving little. Otherwise, expect Cu clouds. High: 87. Low: 70. Mixing Hgt.: around 2100 m MSL. 850 mb flow will be generally out of the S or SW, around 10 kts.
