A small band of showers was moving southeast into Marshall and
DeKalb Counties. These are along the 8h front and should shift
southeast of the area in the next couple of hours. The surface
cold front is not far behind in middle TN into northern MS and
will also sweep through the area through the afternoon. Chances of
additional shower development will go down with time along the
front this afternoon. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s
to around 90 along and west of I-65, with lower to middle 80s
further east in valleys and upper 70s atop the higher plateau
areas. Dew points will slide into the 50s tonight, with morning
lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday through Tuesday)
Issued at 926 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

A large scale pattern change will continue into early this week
with a large upper low and trough across the eastern CONUS and
southeast Canada. The only caveat will be convective clusters that
develop along and north of the frontal boundary in the southern
PLains stretching east into northern AR and perhaps southwest TN
and northern MS late Monday into Monday night. High clouds will
stream into the TN valley, but the risk of any measurable rain
remains very low, so anticipate keeping a dry forecast. The clouds
and cold advection will stunt highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s
Monday afternoon. Despite the clouds, morning lows Tuesday will
dip into the upper 50s in southern middle TN and northeast AL, and
lower 60s across the rest of north AL. The high level moisture
should be shunted south on Tuesday allowing for more sunshine.
Unseasonably mild weather is expected with highs only in the
middle to upper 70s. Atop the highest Cumberland Plateau area near
Sewanee, highs may only reach the upper 60s with a north breeze of
5-10 mph. These highs could get close to record low maxima.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 941 PM CDT Sat Aug 23 2025

High pressure will continue to build in from the north and west
mid to late week, reinforcing the mostly sunny and dry conditions
and subsequently this unseasonably cool/dry air mass. The coolest
temperatures since early/mid May will be experienced Tuesday night
under a clear sky as temperatures fall into the mid to upper 50s.
Beautiful weather will continue with lower RH values and ample
sunshine each day through the remainder of the work week and into
Labor Day weekend. High temperatures each afternoon should climb
into the lower 80s in most locations, with lows dropping into the
upper 50s to lower 60s each night.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 557 PM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

VFR conditions are expected throughout the TAF period. A strong,
but dry cold front will move SE through the terminals early this
evening. This will help keep winds between 5 and 10 knots much of
the night at the terminals with some gusts to between 10 and 15
knots. Much drier air and winds will keep fog at bay overnight.
Similar northerly winds will continue behind the front on Monday.
