.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Saturday)
Issued at 946 AM CDT Fri Mar 22 2024
Earlier light showers have exited the area for now, but
additional showers will develop later this afternoon and continue
into the evening. A surface/upper trough is situated to our west,
so look for deeper moisture to spread into Middle Tennessee during
the next several hours. During the evening, a surface low will
pass by to our south, so expect the active weather to end rather
quickly as the low tracks eastward and pulls the moisture away.
Total QPF values resulting from this system range from <0.1"
around Dover to >0.5" for parts of the Cumberland Plateau and
areas near the Alabama state line. Drier, cooler air will work its
way into the area tomorrow.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday Night through next Friday)
Issued at 946 AM CDT Fri Mar 22 2024
Sunday will bring mostly sunny and warmer weather to Middle
Tennessee. This will be our last "quiet" weather day for awhile.
Expect increasing cloudiness and increasing surface winds on
Monday as the next active weather system approaches the region
from the west. Winds will further increase Monday night with wind
gusts of 40+ mph possible. If current trends persist, it is likely
that we will be issuing a Wind Advisory for at least Monday
night. Meanwhile, a strong cold front will sweep through the mid
state probably on Tuesday. While the primary low center will pass
far to our north, the atmospheric models do develop a secondary
surface low along the frontal boundary over Middle Tennessee on
Tuesday. The primary concern with this event is elevated surface
winds. The risk of severe storms appears to be quite low.
Meanwhile, showers will take their time exiting Middle Tennessee,
with PoPs lingering through Tuesday night and even into Wednesday
morning. Total QPF values resulting from this system range from
1" to 2", with the greatest amounts occurring near the Tennessee
River. Temperatures behind the front will cool off some, with
widespread lows in the 30s both Wednesday night and Thursday
night.
