.DISCUSSION...
Closed upper low has moved over eastern KY and the extreme
northeast part of the forecast area. light rain showers are
rotating around it into the northeast and southwest parts of the
forecast area this morning. Only small amounts of precipitation
has fallen in the past 3 to 6 hours with most of it across
northeast Tennessee and southwest Virginia. Temperatures at late
morning are in the mid to upper 40s lower elevations but in the
30s higher elevations and around freezing or slightly lower in the
highest mountains above 5000 feet. Newfound Gap at this time is 32
with a trace of snow in the parking lot and the Clingmans Dome 
Web Cam showing more than a trace. Expect snow to continue all day
highest elevations and this evening as shortwave energy rotates 
around upper low into the mountains. Have updated hourly 
temperatures and dew points and have some lowering of temperatures
northeast part in the afternoon as colder air from upper low gets
farther east. Changed precipitation chances somewhat to account
for the rotation of showers around upper low. With daytime 
heating expect a little more significant showers to develop for 
the afternoon. Coverage to vary from chance to likely as the bands
rotate around the upper low. Updated forecast sent.
