NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1023 AM CDT FRI SEP 25 2026
DRY AND PLEASANT WEATHER IS FORECAST ACROSS OUR AREA TODAY. HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR THE GREAT LAKES IS PROVIDING NORTHERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECTING HIGHS TO BE IN THE UPPER 70S IN OUR
HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE EAST WITH LOW TO MID 80S ELSEWHERE. TONIGHT,
LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 50S.
SHORT TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1023 AM CDT FRI SEP 25 2026
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION WILL CONTROL THE WEATHER
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH MORE SUN THAN CLOUDS AND A GRADUAL
MODERATION, DAILY HIGH/LOW TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY RISE. HIGHS ON
SAT/SUN SHOULD RANGE FROM AROUND 80 NE ALABAMA AND THE HIGHER
TERRAIN, TO LOW/MID 80S ELSEWHERE. NIGHT LOWS SAT NIGHT SHOULD
COOL MAINLY IN THE MID 50S, AND LOW/MID 50S SUN NIGHT. HIGHS ON
MON SHOULD RISE MAINLY IN THE MID 80S. DRY WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE
INTO THE MID WEEK.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1014 PM CDT THU SEP 24 2026
OUR COOLEST NIGHT MAY BE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE IS
HINTING AT SOME UPPER 40S POSSIBLY FOR LOWS IN SOUTHERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE AND PORTIONS OF NE ALABAMA. SOME PATCHY FOG MAY BE
POSSIBLE AS WELL GIVEN LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED TOWARDS DAYBREAK ON
MONDAY.
A LARGE DEEP LAYER CYCLONE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WILL BECOME AN
OPEN WAVE AND BEGIN EJECTING NORTHEAST, ALLOWING A TROUGH AXIS TO
DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE TN VALLEY ON MONDAY. AT THIS POINT, IT
APPEARS TO BE A DRY TROUGH WITH NO PRECIPITATION EXPECTED. A 5H RIDGE
WILL THEN SHIFT EAST INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND WESTERN GULF OF
AMERICA ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY, AND THEN FURTHER EAST INTO THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. AND SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC BASIN BY THURSDAY. THUS, A
WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED WITH HIGHS THAT BEGIN THE WEEK IN THE LOWER
TO MIDDLE 80S, WARMING INTO THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 DURING THE
MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS THEN DIVERGE ON THE
HANDLING OF A SOUTHWEST U.S. UPPER LOW EVOLUTION. EVEN SO, THE LOW
CHANCES OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS SUGGESTED BY THE NBM MAY BE DUE
MORE TO GENERALIZED MOISTENING AND DESTABILIZATION DUE TO INCREASED
SOUTHERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH. THE ECMWF IS STRONGER WITH
THE RIDGE AND DELAYS THE SHIFT OF THIS TROUGH EAST, WHICH MAY EQUATE
TO A WARMER SCENARIO LATE NEXT WEEK.
