.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Friday)
Issued at 1111 AM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024

Hot and dry weather will remain the headline through Friday as a
ridge of high pressure stretches over the region. High temps
today are once again forecasted to reach the mid to upper 90s this
afternoon and Friday. Dewpoints climb slightly higher on Friday
from upper 60s to low 70s on Friday making those feel like
temperatures slightly warmer Friday afternoon. Latest CAMs are
still hinting at the potential for some isolated pop-up showers
Friday and Saturday afternoon. That said, with little to no wind
shear present for vertical development, the best chance to squeeze
out any precipitation will be along terrain induced areas.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1111 AM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024

The heat continues through the weekend and into next week with
highs potentially peaking on Tuesday next week near 100. Before
that though, some better chances for showers develop Sunday night
into Monday morning as a frontal boundary pushes through. Still
not expecting any shear to be in place so any showers that do form
should remain subsevere. Once we get past Monday, the influence of
the upper ridge weakens and retreats to the SW allowing for some
better dynamics for afternoon thunderstorms. That said, this
pattern will still allow for temperatures to climb into the upper
90s each day.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1042 AM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024

High pressure remains the dominant weather feature affecting
Middle Tennessee today, so once the morning radiation fog
dissipates, we`ll be VFR the rest of the way. Expect generally
light/calm surface winds through the TAF period.
