.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 232 AM CST Tue Nov 4 2025

Surface high pressure is situated across the region this
morning providing calm to light winds. While upper level cloud
cover is streaming across the area, some patchy fog has
developed and will continue into sunrise. Dry and mild
conditions are expected for much of the week due to increasing
mid level heights while surface high pressure translates
eastward. Increasing southwesterly flow will result in warmer
temperatures this week with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s
today through Thursday. Lows will be mild, with 40s to lower 50s
expected. A dry cold front is forecast to move through the
region on Wednesday with gusty southwest winds ahead of the
front.

By late week and into the weekend we start to see amplification
of the upper level flow as a trough moves into the Ohio Valley.
This will send a cold front through the region supporting
showers and a few thunderstorms Friday. While increased wind
fields would support organized convection, thermodynamic
parameters continue to look meager. Ensembles have shown a
slight uptick in CAPE values from its previous runs so this will
be something to watch over the coming days.

Drier weather returns for Saturday behind the front. Another
disturbance aloft will swing through the region Sunday possibly
bringing another chance of rain showers to portions of the area.
Much colder temperatures will follow for Sunday into early next
week. Highs Sunday and Monday are expected to top out in the
upper 40s to lower 50s with lows in the 20s and 30s.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 337 PM CST Mon Nov 3 2025

High pressure anchored over the TN Valley will drift to the
east, allowing return flow southerlies to develop tmrw.
Time/height cross sections show a dry column so little more than
FEW-SCT250 bases with the return flow tmrw is anticipated.
However, with high pressure providing light winds and clear
skies overnight, it is possible patchy/locally dense fog
develops.
