.NEAR TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 123 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024

The convergence boundary that produced significant amounts of
rainfall across NW AL has finally pushed into MS. While a few
stray showers are possible tonight in far NW AL, most locations
should remain dry. Any rain that does fall will be light. Overcast
skies persist through the overnight hours for the western half of
the forecast area with some clearing further to the east. As a
result, temperatures only dip down into the upper 60s in our west
and lower 60s in our east. Winds remain light around 5-10 mph
through the night, limiting any fog development where skies do
clear out.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 123 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024

To start off the work week, the Tennessee Valley will be located
in between the remnant convergence boundary to our west and a
tropical like wave off the Carolina coast. As a result, subsidence
in between these two features will allow for mostly sunny skies
and dry conditions. Temperatures will be near climatological norms
for this time of year with afternoon highs in the mid 80s and
overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A welcomed changed
after the last several cloudy and rainy days.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 223 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024

Sandwiched between weak troughing on either side at the mid
levels, high pressure to our NE will remain the dominant feature
through the long term forecast. This will continue our string of
mundane weather with virtually no rain chances and clear skies
each day supported by the high and dry airmass. With a mostly
unchanged airmass in place through the duration of the long term,
highs will remain in the mid to high 80s each day with lows
gradually increasing from the low 60s to the high 60s by the end
of the period.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1140 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024

Breezy southeasterly winds up to 25 knots will persist through
the afternoon and into the early evening until subsiding around
sunset. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions to continue through the
remainder of the TAF forecast period.
