Stormy Day....

Showers and thunderstorms will mainly affect the Northern Plateau and Valley as well as Northeast Tennessee this morning.

SimuAWIPS Radar at 9:15
These storms are not severe and are left over from storms that affecting parts of Missouri.  I expect as the cold front continue to move east that we will see more showers and thunderstorms as the day goes on.  This has prompted a slight risk across the area with main threat being damaging wind and heavy rain with precipitable water values being on the 2 inch range this afternoon.

SPC Day 1 Convective Outlook for 9 AM today till 8 AM Monday
The area will see good chances of storms tonight through tomorrow as frontal boundary slowly moves through the area.  Highs should be in the mid to upper 80s with cloud cover and storms.  This weak front will not cool or clear out the moist and unstable air mass, so will keep a chance of showers and thunderstorms most of the week with a increase chance for Thursday.  Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
