362 FXUS64 KMRX 141114 AFDMRX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Morristown TN 714 AM EDT Mon Sep 14 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 711 AM EDT Mon Sep 14 2026 - Dry for most of the area through the week with above normal temperatures continuing. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 246 AM EDT Mon Sep 14 2026 A front near the OH River tonight will push southward and cross our area during the day. It will have little impact on our sensible weather, as warm temperatures will persist behind it for the next few days due to a large mid/upper ridge across the region. Dewpoints may be a little lower behind the front, in the mid 60s to lower 70s, which may help keep the Heat Index below Advisory values. Southern and central Valley locations are expected to see Heat Index values of 100 to 105 today and Tuesday. Rain chances will be low through the week, and mainly focused along the higher terrain of the mountains and SW VA. The upper ridge may show signs of weakening around the weekend, which could allow for some better rain chances early next week. && .AVIATION...
