...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.
