DISCUSSION
(TONIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1115 PM CDT TUE SEP 2 2025
A WEAK STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS OVER THE REGION TONIGHT.
DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S NORTH AND WEST OF
THE FRONT AND IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S TO THE SOUTH AND EAST.
SKIES ARE SLOWLY CLEARING AND SOME PATCHY FOG IS LIKELY OVERNIGHT
WITH LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 60S.
THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.
WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE NW FLOW ALOFT
WILL KICK OFF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE BOUNDARY WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATEST. THE BOUNDARY WILL
ROUGHLY BE LOCATED ALONG I-40.
BY THURSDAY, THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DISSIPATE. UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY WILL MOVE THROUGH THE OH VALLEY ALONG WITH A COLD
FRONT. THIS SYSTEM WILL SKIRT THE TN RIVER VALLEY AND RESULT IN A
FEW STORMS THERE, BUT THE MAIN PUSH WILL BE NORTH AND EAST OF THE
MID-SOUTH. THAT FRONT NEVER GETS THROUGH THE REGION AND SOUTHERLY
WINDS RETURN ON FRIDAY. THE AIRMASS PUSHING INTO THE REGION ON
FRIDAY IS VERY WARM. 925 MB TEMPS OF OVER 29C WILL YIELD HIGHS
TEMPS WELL INTO THE 90S. FORTUNATELY, HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL NOT BE
TOO BAD AS DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE 60S.
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND SLIGHT UPTICK IN SHEAR WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DURING THIS
PERIOD. DRIER AND COOLER WEATHER IS EXPECTED BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
BY TUESDAY, THE EAST COAST UPPER TROUGH PUSHES EAST AND ANOTHER
TROUGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH RAIN
CHANCES RETURNING THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ATTM.
