.NEAR TERM...
(Tonight)
Issued at 248 PM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Despite overcast skies, WAA from SSW flow has allowed afternoon
temps to rise to the high 50s to low 60s. The overcast conditions
can be traced back to the NW where an approaching front is
currently located over western TN. The surface front and
associated cut off low aloft will push SE through the CWA over the
next 24 hours. As the front and low pressure moves through,
overcast conditions will continue in addition to light to moderate
rain. While we could have some stray light showers through the
afternoon, rain associated with the front looks to move in from
the west around midnight. The proximity of the cut off low will
provide a decent amount of shear however HIRES models remain
pessimistic regarding the presence of any instability. Thus
stratiform rain is most likely after midnight and through sunrise
tomorrow with a low chance of a rumble of thunder. The overcast
conditions will keep temps several degrees warmer than previous
nights with lows in the mid 40s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Sunday through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 945 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

Rainy and overcast conditions coupled with an extra hour of sleep
will make Sunday a perfect morning to sleep in. Conditions will be
slow to clear as both light rain and clouds linger behind the
front in association with the cut off low. Surface high pressure
will build from the west through Sunday and aid in clearing
conditions by Sunday evening. Paired with ridging aloft, we will
enter a NNW flow pattern by Sunday evening ushering in cooler
continental air. As such, low in the 30s will return to the
forecast Sunday night with frost possible area wide. We will
remain under high pressure influence through the middle of the
week. The clear conditions will allow for a warming trend with
temps warming from the low 60s on Monday to the mid to high 60s
on Tuesday. Overnight lows will see a similar trend warming from
the 30s and 40s on Monday night to the mid 40s by Tuesday night.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Friday)
Issued at 1056 PM CDT Fri Oct 31 2025

A more substantial warming trend occurs through the middle/end of
next week, with high pressure slowly weakening over the Tennessee
River Valley. Highs should climb back into the upper 60s to lower
70s by the middle/end of next week as dry conditions continue.

As a longwave trough axis and associated cold front moves east
through zonal flow on Friday into the weekend, some showers may
move into the area. However, at this time, the better forcing and
deeper moisture appears much further north of the area closer to
the Ohio Valley region. Not much change in temperatures as lows
remain in the 40s to lower 50s and highs in the upper 60s to
lower 70s.

VFR conditions will continue through most of the daylight hours
today. After sunset ceilings will gradually drop with MVFR
ceilings likely be sunrise tomorrow. Light to moderate showers
will move from west to east from about 6Z-18Z. Heaviest showers
tomorrow morning could lead to brief lowering of ceilings and
visibilities.
