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.

Profiler Plume Depiction
The following shows a depiction of plume locations as predicted by the profiler winds assimilated into a one-dimensional boundary layer model. The top image shows particle positions as of the previous evening. The lower image shows particle positions as of the following morning for particles released beginning the previous noon.
