.NEAR TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 323 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

A weak upper low was situated over the central AL/GA border. This
disturbance was helping to produce scattered to broken clouds from
middle Tennessee to the MS/AL border. A few showers that formed
yesterday over the north/central AL/GA border have dissipated.
Newer activity has formed over portion of central Alabama in the
overnight, drifting west to southwest. Cannot totally rule out a
shower or two could form over northern Alabama into the early
morning; however chances are too low to include rain in the
forecast at this time.

During the course of today, the above mentioned upper low should
slowly move E-SE. As it reaches the Georgia coast, it will become
involved with the development of an east coast nor`easter type
system. Any showers from it should remain well east of this area.

An area of surface high pressure over New England was otherwise
bringing cooler air southward across the greater Tennessee Valley.
3 AM temperatures ranged from the mid 50s to lower 60s with mainly
light winds. This high should move offshore today, resulting in
an easterly flow. Under partly cloudy skies, another seasonably
warm day is expected, with high temperatures rising into the mid
70s (trending a bit warmer west, a bit cooler east).

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Sunday Night)
Issued at 948 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025

As we head through through the weekend there will not be much
change in the overall weather pattern across the Tennessee Valley.
The upper level trough digs further south across the Southeast
allowing northerly flow to keep the cooler and drier airmass in
place. Overall, a beautiful fall weather weekend is in store with
afternoon highs Saturday and Sunday in the mid to upper 70s with
overnight lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. There will once
again be low chances of fog development each morning given the
light winds and clear skies.

.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...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1247 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

Satellite data and regional sfc observations indicate that a
layer of stratocu will persist across the TN Valley overnight,
providing a sct-bkn coverage of VFR clouds in the 4-8 kft layer.
Although the presence of clouds and minor advection of dry air
into the region (with light easterly winds) will inhibit fog
development at the terminals, patchy BR/FG may still occur in the
deeper river valleys to the east of HSV. The stratocu layer is
expected to dissipate around 12Z, with mostly clear skies and
lgt/vrbl flow anticipated for the remainder of the TAF period.
