.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 157 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

Warm conditions once again across the mid state this morning.
Temperatures are in the 70s, upper 60s Plateau. Patchy fog will be
possible as we approach sunrise.

Surface high over Lake Michigan will give us a light
easterly/northeasterly flow for today. At the same time , however, an
upper high will begin strengthening across the deep south. This
feature will continue to strengthen as it moves to our east. A more
uniform southerly flow will set up on Sunday and Monday with
additional humidity expected. This will result in a returning chance
of mainly afternoon and early evening showers and thunderstorms.
Pops still look rather low with perhaps some 40% values on Monday.
Best coverage appears to be across our west given that that area
will be furthest from the upper high.

The more important story will be the heat. The high will reach the
Carolinas on Monday. Westward thermal extension will be in place,
and with 850 mb temps in the 19-21C range we will continue to see
highs in the mid to upper 90s. Sunday looks like the hottest day
with 97F expected at BNA. The one Savior will be that dewpoints
should remain in the mid to upper 60s. This should temper the heat
index just enough to keep us out of any advisory requirements. As
always though, we will need to play particular attention to areas
along the TN river. Across that area, heat index values of 100-104F
cannot be ruled out for Sunday.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday Night through next Saturday)
Issued at 157 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

For the extended forecast, the upper high will reach the New
York/New Jersey area on Tuesday. Ridging will extend southwestward
toward our area and build with time. A moisture undercut will be
possible, especially just west of Tennessee. NBM numbers just show
10 pops so it`s unlikely that precip inclusion will occur in the
extended. But, that hot weather is going to continue. Look for mid
90s for highs through the period. Overnight lows will generally be
in the 70-75F range.

Issued at 1233 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2024

Upper ridging influences will keep all sites VFR this period,
with the exception of some possible light fog development this
morning at CSV and SRB. It`s not a guarantee, but with calm winds
and mostly clear skies it`s not out of the question. Winds will
be light and out of the northeast today.
