.NEAR TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 838 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024

With high pressure layered across much of the region, quiet and
seasonably warm conditions are expected into the overnight hrs.
Current temps are predom in the 70s and lows into early Mon still
look to fall mainly into the lower/mid 60s. Some patchy light fog
is possible overnight as well, although the coverage doesn`t look
to be as dense/widespread compared to early this morning.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 141 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024

Sfc high pressure will remain anchored to our east as upper
ridging builds over the area, resulting in a dry but warming
forecast through the short term period. Expect highs in the mid to
upper 80s each day, with a few locations potentially hitting the
90 degree mark. Will start the week with light southeasterly flow,
increasing on Wednesday as gradient flow tightens between the
broad ridge to our south and upper troughing digging into the
upper Midwest. Overall, could not really ask for better weather
for late May, even if it is a tad bit warm. Remember to practice
heat safety and remain hydrated if spending time outdoors!

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 254 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024

The aforementioned cold front will clip the Tennessee Valley
Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing low to medium (30-60%)
chances for showers and thunderstorms -- before this activity
tapers off Thursday night. We may stay in an active pattern to
kick off the Memorial Day holiday weekend, thanks to zonal flow
aloft allowing a couple of shortwaves to ripple through the area
both Friday and Saturday. This will bring some additional chances
for showers and thunderstorms both days. Despite the cloud cover,
temperatures should still reach the low to perhaps mid 80s each
day.

(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1215 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024

VFR conditions will be the predominant flight category at each
terminal through the period. A brief window of light MVFR fog may
result in visibility reductions at both terminals between 09-12z
and have a TEMPO to highlight this.
