Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Morristown TN 1043 AM EST Mon Nov 28 2016 .DISCUSSION...Forecast mostly on track for today. There were some slight changes however. Based off latest soundings, further delayed onset of precip due to the vast amount of dry air still showing up in the mid levels during the afternoon hours. Soundings do eventually moisten up but not until later this evening. Have left precip out of grids until 21z this afternoon. At this time, will have slight chance and chance pops in place across the Cumberland Plateau, extreme Southern TN valley, as well as Southwest North Carolina. Temps and dewpoints still look good today. Most recent obs showing winds already gusting between 15 and 20 mph generally above 2000 feet. Winds will steadily strengthen through the day. Wind Advisory still set to start at 18z along with the High Wind Warning. Did issue a SPS earlier for enhanced fire danger due to the expected strong and gusty winds. RH values not really an issue today. Will send new zones to account for pop adjustment. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
