.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Sunday night)
Issued at 1140 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

Conditions are pretty much as expected today with showers moving
in from the northwest and mostly dissipating as they run into drier
and more stable air in place over Middle Tennessee. A few spots
may pick up a few raindrops over the next few hours, but for the
most part we will see just some patches of mid level clouds.
These clouds will be thick enough to impact temps. More sunny
area will reach the mid 80s, but cloudier locations like our
northwest counties will be held to the lower 80s.

Rain-free conditions and partly cloudy skies will be in place for
most areas through midnight. After that, rain chances will
increase significantly late night into Sunday morning as the next
disturbance in northwest flow aloft brings numerous showers and
scattered thunderstorms. The greatest coverage of rainfall will be
located across the northern two-thirds of the forecast area. A
few of the storms could contain gusty winds of 30 to maybe 40 mph,
but we are not looking for severe weather given the very weak
instability. The bulk of the showers and storms will move out of
the area by midday Sunday, but additional scattered thunderstorms
are expected to form in the afternoon as a cold front drops into
the area. The afternoon storms could pack a little more punch with
local downpours and gusty winds as more instability will be
available. Still, we are not expecting a significant severe wx
threat. The cold front will sink southward Sunday evening,
shutting off rain chances from north to south.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Saturday)
Issued at 1140 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024

The forecast for next week continues to look unusually quiet for
mid-June due to a building upper level ridge across the southern
states. We cannot rule out a few storms here and there through
the week as some minor impulses cross the region. But overall the
week will be drier than normal. The workweek will start out
cooler and less humid than normal thanks to Sunday evening`s cold
front passage. After that, it will warm up each day, and by next
weekend we will reach full summer mode with hot and humid
conditions.
