IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY ACROSS THE MID STATE! HIGH PRESSURE HAS SETTLED

A DEVELOPING UPPER-LEVEL LOW WILL WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE US THIS  
WEEK AND BRING VERY HIGH RAIN CHANCES (90-100%) TO THE ENTIRE AREA  
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. QPF VALUES HAVE SCALED BACK  
JUST A TOUCH FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGE. THE LATEST EURO  
ENSEMBLES GIVE AN 80% CHANCE OF RAINFALL AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 1 INCH  
PRIMARILY ACROSS OUR WESTERN COUNTIES AND ONLY A 10-20% CHANCE OF  
AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 2" ANYWHERE IN MIDDLE TN. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES  
REMAIN VERY LOW. IF ANY INSTABILITY IS ABLE TO CREEP IN FRIDAY,  
THERE COULD BE A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER. WITH THAT BEING SAID,  
SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AS WE ARE NOT IN A FAVORABLE  
LOCATION WITH PROXIMITY TO THE LOW. PWAT VALUES WILL BE WELL ABOVE  
THE 90TH PERCENTILE FOR THIS EVENT, SO PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN CAN  
BE EXPECTED. IT WILL ALSO BE WINDY THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY  
MORNING AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS AND TIGHTENS THE PRESSURE  
GRADIENT. SUSTAINED SPEEDS WILL BE NEAR 15 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH  
AS 35 MPH. RAIN WILL TAPER OFF THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY AND FULLY  
COME TO AN END EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. WE WILL DRY BACK OUT FOR  
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND WITH ABOVE-NORMAL TEMPERATURES  
CARRYING US INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE  
IN THE 50S TO 60S DURING THE AFTERNOONS WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE  
30S TO 40S.
