.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1229 PM EST Tue Nov 11 2025

In the upper levels, a deep trough remains over the Eastern U.S.
This weekend, the region will be stuck between a weak ridge over the
Southeast and a strong trough to the north. At the surface, high
pressure will be over the region through Saturday bringing dry
weather. On Sunday, a weak frontal passage is possible as a
system moves through the Great Lakes. Very low rain chances will
be possible on Sunday but it looks likely to be a dry and
uneventful passage with only a slight dip in dew points and temps
behind it. By Monday or Tuesday of next week, a more substantial
system will be possible and may include a soaking rain.

Temperatures will start to rebound today getting to near normal by
tomorrow with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. This weekend
will be a bit warmer with highs near 70 for much of the Valley due
to southerly winds.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 602 PM EST Tue Nov 11 2025

LLWS will be the main aviation concern tonight as a strong LLJ
from the west will set up over the area. Surface winds will not
drop to calm, but the difference from the surface up to 2 kft will
still be 30-35 kt, with a directional difference of 40-80 degrees.
The LLWS should end around 15Z when winds aloft mix down to the
surface and increase winds gusts tomorrow, up to 25 kt at TYS.
