.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of Today and Tonight)
Issued at 1023 AM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026

Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley this morning, as we
remain wedged between a strong coastal low over the Mid Atlantic
and an upper-ridge axis over Texas. Current satellite imagery
shows a broad area of mid-level clouds around 10 kft over middle
Tennessee that may clip the area as they drift southeast late this
morning and into the afternoon. Still, think mostly sunny
conditions will result temperatures reaching the lower 80s by this
afternoon. All in all, a beautiful and comfortable early Autumn
day. Another pleasant, cool night is forecast once again across
the Tennessee Valley thanks the dry air mass and the mostly clear
sky as lows will drop into the mid to upper 50s!

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday through Monday)
Issued at 1023 AM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026

Expect more of the same both Sunday and Monday as the beautiful
Autumn weather continues. Northerly flow will reinforce this
"cooler" and more importantly drier air mass, helping to make it
feel quite comfortable each day and night. Expect daytime highs
to reach the low to mid 80s both days, with overnight lows in the
50s at night.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Friday)
Issued at 1039 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2026

Overall, the pattern will be in transition this period after a weak
trough pushes into the Southeast U.S. Tuesday, being overwhelmed by a
building ridge over the southwest Atlantic basin. This builds
influence into the southeast U.S. Wednesday and Thursday. While in
the southwest U.S. and Plains, a complex upper low and eventual remnant
Hurricane Polo evolution remain uncertain. For our area, southerly
flow will be enhanced between the ridge and trough, keeping moist and
unstable air flow northward. This will introduce low chances of
showers and thunderstorms, primarily daytime heating driven, during
the latter half of next week. Temperatures will also be on a warming
trend with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
