   AIRMASS DESTABILIZES.  WW MAY BE REQUIRED.
   
   MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER IN PLACE ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH REGION COMBINED
   WITH DIURNAL HEATING WILL YIELD CONTINUED AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION.

   WSWWD ACROSS MIDDLE TN WILL CONTINUE MOVING EWD WITH TIME...WITH
   LOCAL UPDRAFT INTENSIFICATION EXPECTED WITHIN THIS BAND AS AVAILABLE
