More Showers And Thunderstorms....

Chances of showers and thunderstorms today with some upper level help swinging through the area.  These disturbances will be weak so expect slow moving activity again today.  Main impact will be heavy rain/flooding and lightning.  Once again with plenty of moisture in place precipitable water values are around 1.6 to 1.9 this morning.  Highs today will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s depending on cloud cover.

Still looking at tomorrow for best chances of storms with some being strong late in the day on Friday.  The weak frontal boundary to the north coupled with short wave energy will be the focus for convection.  Main severe weather threat right now is forecasted to be north and west of most of the area, but would not rule a a few severe storms in East Tennessee.

Your weekend looks to be warm with more afternoon convection with higher terrain being the focal point.  Highs for the weekend will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.  Chances of precipitation go down Sunday through Monday and increase by Wednesday.
