IN WAKE OF A COLD FRONT THAT PUSHED THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
LAST NIGHT, A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS TO THE REGION HAS MOVED
INTO THE AREA. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE
20S -- AND SUBSEQUENTLY RH VALUES INTO THE 20-30% RANGE AS OF 16Z.
COMBINED WITH THE GUSTY WINDS INTO THE 15-25 MPH RANGE AT SOME,
LOCALIZED ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP. WE WILL
NEED TO MONITOR FOR THIS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
OTHERWISE, NOTABLY COOLER CONDITIONS, WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING TO
CLIMB ABOVE THE MID 60S IN MOST LOCATIONS DESPITE THE AMPLE
SUNSHINE. AFTER SUNSET, WINDS WILL QUICKLY DECOUPLE AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT DECOUPLES AND LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE LOWER 40S
IN THIS COOL/DRY AIR MASS UNDER A CLEAR SKY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, PROMOTING DRY AND MOSTLY SUNNY
CONDITIONS. AS WINDS GRADUALLY VEER TO THE SOUTH ALONG THE WESTERN
EDGE OF THIS RIDGE, A WARMING TREND WILL TAKE PLACE. THIS CAN BE
SEE BY HIGHS RETURNING TO THE LOWER 70S ON WEDNESDAY AND THE
MID/UPPER 70S ON THURSDAY.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE AREA INTO THE
END OF THIS UPCOMING WEEK. SEVERAL DISTURBANCES WILL PASS WELL TO
OUR NORTH THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY REGION DURING THIS TIME.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM MORE SIGNIFICANTLY AS A RESULT WITH HIGHS
CLIMBING BACK INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S AT LEAST. LOWS
SHOULD CLIMB BACK INTO THE 50S AND LOWER 60S. A DRY FORECAST
THOUGH, SO A NICE TIME TO ENJOY OUTDOOR PLANS.
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WEAKENS BUT REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHEAST
INTO NEXT WEEKEND. WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS APPROACH THE AREA
TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEKEND. A MORE SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM
MAY MATERIALIZE JUST BEYOND THAT PERIOD.
