.UPDATE...
Issued at 911 PM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

Quite conditions this evening as our cold front has passed through
Middle TN. Some high clouds are streaming overhead while
temperatures currently read in the low 70s with dewpoints in the
low 50s. Overnight lows are expected to drop into the mid 50s.
Gusty winds that we saw earlier this evening are subsiding, but
will increase back between 10-12 kts Monday afternoon.

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Monday)
Issued at 1128 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

The day has arrived! Our first false fall has begun. The cold front
has passed through, turning our winds northerly and clearing the
skies over Middle Tennessee. Today will be the last day for a bit
that the highs reach 90 degrees in some areas. Dewpoints across the
mid-state have already dropped into the 60s, so starting to feel a
little better already.

Tonight, despite a drier air mass, patchy fog will once again be an
issue on the Cumberland Plateau. Not expecting much given the
dropping dewpoints, however. Expect a cooler night with lows in the
50s and 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday Night through next Sunday)
Issued at 1128 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025

Guidance continues to show temperatures 10-20 degrees below normal
into mid-week next week. Best of all, less moisture in the incoming
air mass means very low precipitation chances next week and a
continued drier feeling to the air outside. Rain chances do increase
slightly starting Thursday, but remain low (<30%). The low pressure
system that is behind the cold front we experienced earlier will
stay to our north, putting us in northwest and eventually westerly
flow. This pattern means UL disturbances can pass through Middle
Tennessee with ease, and some of these disturbances look to affect
us and areas south towards the end of the work week. Hard to say
with certainty if rain chances will remain low, but right now it
looks like some areas will see isolated showers and others will not
see a drop from any of these disturbances. High temperatures will be
in the mid 70s to mid 80s through the period, with lows in the 50s
initially then increasing into the low 60s.
