.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Friday Night)
Issued at 937 PM CDT Wed May 21 2025

A quieter stretch of weather is still in store through the
remainder of the work week an upper-level ridge builds just to our
west. This keeps dry, northwest flow overhead through Friday. Our
temperatures remain cool with highs in the 70s each afternoon with
low humidity values. It`ll be beautiful and very nice for the end
of May. As far as rain chances go, there`s only a low chance for
light rain tonight and into Thursday morning, mainly for the
southwest as an embedded shortwave moves through the area. Don`t
anticipate any impacts from this, and any rain totals should only
amount to a few hundredths.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Thursday)
Issued at 937 PM CDT Wed May 21 2025

Rain chances return just in time for the weekend as a weak trough
moves through the area Saturday with a stronger system Sunday and
into Monday. Don`t see anything significant at this time for the
weekend. Severe weather chances remain low this weekend with
little forcing available. However, there is a cold front that
approaches on Monday as the stronger trough moves into the Midwest
that could provide better forcing for thunderstorms. So certainly
something to watch as we get closer. Otherwise, be sure to enjoy
these below normal temperatures while they last. Forecast highs
through the weekend remain in the 70s which is remarkable for late
May.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)

TAFs are VFR. High pressure is building into Middle Tennessee from
the Great Plains, so the atmosphere is quite stable. Wind will
increase from the WNW by mid-morning, then diminish by nightfall.
