.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 1044 AM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/
THE LARGE MCS IS MOVING OUT OF MS AND CONTINUING THROUGH
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN AL PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE COAST. CLOSER TO HOME...A PREFRONTAL TROUGH
WAS NOTED IN ANALYZED OBS AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION SEEN ON RADAR
EXTENDING FROM MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH OUR CWA THIS MORNING. TEMPS
THIS MORNING HAVE ALREADY CLIMBED NEAR 60 AND DEW POINTS ARE IN
BETTER SHAPE TODAY WITH THE PLETHORA OF GULF MOISTURE. MAIN FORECAST
CHANGE WAS TO DECREASE THE POPS FOR TODAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE
STILL POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT THE GREATEST CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION IS LATER TONIGHT.

THE MAIN AXIS OF RAIN HAS SHIFTED SOUTH AND MOST OF THE MOISTURE TO
PRODUCE THE RAINFALL PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED FOR TODAY IS BEING
INTERCEPTED BY THE MCS. STILL EXPECTING DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES. 

ALSO UPDATED THE HOURLY WINDS AND DEWPOINTS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT
TRENDS.
