.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday)
Issued at 1147 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

Not a whole lot to talk about in the forecast discussion today
and this week. We will be moving into an October like weather
pattern that will bring an extended period of quiet weather. An
upper level ridge is off to our west with a strong area of high
pressure over the Great Lakes. This will influence our weather for
much of this week with quiet conditions continuing through the
forecast period. The back edge of the low clouds is through
Clarksville and we will continue to see clearing from north to
south through the afternoon as drier air builds in. All areas will
clear out by the evening and we will see lows in the mid 40s to
lower 50s. High pressure will be set up just to our north on
Thursday and that will bring great weather with clear skies and
seasonal highs in the low to mid 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday Night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1147 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

There will not be a lot of change as we head into the extended
period with quiet weather continuing. High pressure will slide
off to the east late in the week into the weekend with an upper
level ridge amplifying to our west. That will bring southerly flow
and warm our highs back into the mid 70s to lower 80s. As we head
into next week the upper level ridge will slide east setting up
over us. This will keep highs in the mid 70s to lower 80s. The
upper level ridge pattern is favored to hold in place for all of
next week.
