(This afternoon through next Tuesday) Issued at 1055 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 Cool and dry air will continue to filter into the Mid-South today behind a cold front. Overnight, dewpoints will drop to the upper 40s areawide. Continual CAA will allow for temperatures on Thursday to remain in the low to mid 70s, bringing the first taste of fall to the Mid-South. Overnight lows Thursday into Friday will drop into the mid 40s for areas along the TN/KY border. Unfortunately, a warming trend will resume this weekend as an upper level ridge builds over Texas. Luckily, this ridge will have a hard time pushing east through Sunday as multiple shortwaves traverse northern and eastern CONUS. Highs on Sunday will be in the low 80s. Additional warming is forecast for the beginning of next week as the center of the aforementioned ridge pushes towards the Mid- South. By midweek, highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. For now, no rain is in the forecast for the foreseeable future. ANS && .AVIATION...
