   SUMMARY...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER
   EASTERN TN INTO WESTERN NC AND ADJACENT REGIONS.  A FEW STORMS MAY
   PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL...BUT ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT
   EXPECTED TODAY.  A WW IS UNLIKELY.

   DISCUSSION...RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS SHOW SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
   FORMING OVER EAST TN INTO WESTERN NC.  THIS IS BENEATH AND JUST EAST
   OF AN  UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR CSV.  RATHER COOL MID LEVEL
   TEMPERATURES /-13 TO -14 AT 500MB/ COUPLED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID
   60S AND SEVERAL HOURS OF MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON SUNSHINE HAVE
   RESULTED IN CAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J/KG.  LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE
   WEAK...BUT MID/UPPER LEVEL WINDS ARE SUFFICIENT TO AID IN SOME
   CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION AND A FEW STRONGER CORES.  RELATIVELY STEEP
   LAPSE RATES AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR MAY RESULT IN HAIL IN THE STRONGER
   STORMS...ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS.
