.NEAR TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Currently, mid/upr ridging is stretching across the TN Valley,
along with generally light NE-E low-lvl flow near the sfc.
Small cu have developed in NE and western portions of the area
and are do not appear deep enough to have produced showers. A
mid/upr wave moving generally S-SE in the mid-Miss Valley has
generated showers/storms in that region today, but this has been
gradually weakening. This activity will remain well to our west as
it continues to weaken, leaving us dry for the rest of the
afternoon and tonight. Lows tonight will be near seasonal norms,
in the low to mid 50s. Patchy fog could develop later tonight, in
the typically favored locations, and mainly our TN counties and
portions of NW Alabama, but significant development is not
anticipated.

.SHORT TERM...
(Saturday through Monday)
Issued at 1100 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Not much change is expected through the weekend and into Monday as
the mid/upr trough remains in the East Coast while a shortwave may
tend to become partially closed off farther to our SE. This will
keep generally lgt N-NE flow across the area and a continuation
of dry conditions across the area. Temperatures will tend to be
near seasonal norms through the period.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 948 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025

Heading into next week, the upper level ridge to our west
amplifies and shifts eastward kicking the trough off the East
Coast. High pressure over the western Gulf Coast will keep the
persistent dry weather going for the Tennessee Valley through the
end of the long term period on Thursday. With a more westerly
flow pattern aloft, a gradual warmup is forecast with afternoon
highs returning to the lower 80s Monday through Thursday.
Overnight lows will also warm back up towards the mid to upper
50s by the middle of next week.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 651 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Although conditions will remain VFR at the HSV/MSL terminals
throughout the valid TAF period, broken Ci/Cs clouds will be
prevalent across the region this evening as a well-defined upper-
lvl disturbance drops south-southeastward over the Mid-MS Valley.
As skies clear and winds become calm after 4Z, patchy BR/FG may
develop in sheltered valley locations across northeast AL/southern
TN, but probabilities for vsby reductions at either airport are
too low to include in the TAFs at this point. A slight increase in
NNE flow is expected to occur after sunrise as a developing area
of low pressure tracks north-northeastward off the southeastern
Atlantic Coast, with only a few high-based Cu possible during the
daylight hours.
