.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday Night)
Issued at 1045 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2026

Much of the same continues across Middle Tennessee and the
background synoptic pattern hasn`t changed over the past several
days. Longwave troughing across the East continues to support
overall stable weather with high pressure at the surface and only
glancing blows from upper-level shortwaves. However, the large
ridge out West will gradually shift east Wednesday and Thursday
with high pressure moving into the Western Atlantic. This will
support further warming and southerly to southwesterly breezes.
Highs well into the 80s are forecast Thursday afternoon which will
make a run for tying or breaking records.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1045 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2026

A cold front will push into the region Friday morning, though
will be fairly displaced from the surface low and sheared
disturbance aloft. With a weakening trend in forcing and marginal
tropospheric moisture, only light to moderate rain showers are
expected across Middle Tennessee on Friday with rain amounts less
than .2 inches. Best chances for rain remain along/north of I-40.

The cold front passage will provide cooler, stable weather for
this weekend with high pressure in the region. The background
synoptic pattern seems to flip more toward a ridge across the
East and a trough across the West. This will support a big rebound
in temperatures early next week.
