829 FXUS64 KHUN 050510 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 1210 AM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 ...New AVIATION... .NEAR TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 900 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley this evening, with only some scattered decks of mid to high clouds passing overhead. Late tonight, some localized patchy fog may develop, mainly in sheltered river valleys late tonight due to moist boundary layer conditions. Otherwise, another fairly mild night for early October, as lows will only drop to the low to mid 60s. Only minor tweaks made to the forecast based on the latest obs/trends as everything remains on track. && .SHORT TERM... (Saturday through Monday) Issued at 217 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Warm but pleasant conditions are in store over the weekend for the Tennessee Valley, as daily highs reach the mid to upper 80s. Chances for fog will persist each night as clear skies and light winds prevail. The good news is that a cold front will move through Sunday night into Monday morning, and it will finally feel like fall as we head into the beginning of the work week. Highs on Monday will be much more pleasant, ranging from the upper 70s to lower 80s. This combined with much lower humidity values will keep dry conditions in place with sfc high pressure spreading south through the Midwest. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Thursday) Issued at 200 AM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Cooler/drier air out of the N/NE will continue to filter into the area Mon night into Tue, offering the TN Valley a taste of Fall like wx. Lows Mon night look to fall into the upper 40s/lower 50s, with temps then rebounding into the mid/upper 70s later in the day Tue. Tranquil/seasonably mild conditions will then prevail past mid week, as a large dome of high pressure out of the northern/mid Plains builds into the Midwest/OH Valley states. Afternoon highs Wed/Thu look to remain predom in the mid/upper 70s, while lows into early Thu trend in the upper 40s/near 50F. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1210 AM CDT Sat Oct 5 2024 Other than some mid/high cloud cover continuing to spread NE across the eastern half of the area, VFR conds are generally expected thru the TAF period.
