.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 958 PM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025

Storms have dissipated this evening giving way to a quiet but very
warm and muggy night. A few showers and storms remain well north
across Kentucky and expect that to continue through the overnight
hours. Some patchy dense fog will develop especially in areas
that experienced heavy downpours earlier today.

Monday should be a carbon copy of Sunday`s weather with another
round of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms across
the area. Impacts should be similar with gusty winds, lightning,
and brief heavy rainfall.

For Tuesday...coverage of storms looks to be slightly less and as
somewhat of a warming trend takes shape with Highs in the low 90s
expected. The Heat Index readings will also start climbing closer
to that triple digit mark as well.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Monday)
Issued at 958 PM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025

Wednesday through Friday look quite similar with best coverage of
afternoon and evening convection remaining across the Plateau
region. With that said, locations west of the Plateau will
definitely feel the affects of the lack of storm and cloud
coverage as Highs in the low to mid 90s and Heat Index values
100+F can be expected.

By the weekend, a little more uncertainty takes shape with a
bit better coverage of storms possibly on Saturday. However if
that doesn`t quite materialize, it`s safe to say the lack of
convection and cloud cover definitely equals hotter temps to deal
with as we go through the weekend and into next week. So yeah,
welcome to Peak Summer in Middle Tennessee!
