SHORT TERM
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1030 AM CST SAT MAR 8 2025
PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT THIS SATURDAY MORNING HAS BROUGHT COOLER
AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. BY THIS
EVENING, WINDS WILL BE DECREASING AND MUCH LESS GUSTY. A VEIL OF
MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL SPREAD OVERHEAD, OUT AHEAD OF A COMPACT
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER TX/OK.
THE COMPACT LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND DEEP
SOUTH TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. MIDDLE TENNESSEE WILL BE ON
THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE SYSTEM WITH LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS GENERALLY SOUTH OF I-40. THE HIGHER CHANCES WILL BE ALONG
THE TENNESSEE/ALABAMA BORDER. OTHERWISE, THE MAIN IMPACT FROM
THIS SYSTEM WILL BE A GOOD DEAL OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS.
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE REST OF THIS WEEKEND WILL BE NEAR NORMAL
FOR EARLY MARCH.
LONG TERM
(MONDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1030 AM CST SAT MAR 8 2025
A WARM EARLY TASTE OF SPRING IS ON THE WAY FOR NEXT WEEK. THIS
WEEKEND'S UPPER LOW WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY MORNING AS
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL SET UP WARM
AND DRY CONDITIONS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HIGHS WILL WARM FROM
THE 60S MONDAY TO AREA-WIDE 70S BY WEDNESDAY. LOWS WILL WARM FROM
THE 30S MONDAY MORNING TO 40S AND 50S BY MIDWEEK.
THE NEXT RAIN CHANCE WILL COME LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS A
FAIRLY COMPACT TROUGH EJECTS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST CONUS AND MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA. DESPITE THE WARM SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
DECENT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A SEVERE
WEATHER SETUP. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS, BUT DEEP MOISTURE RETURN AND WIND SHEAR WILL BE
LACKING. AFTER THE SYSTEM, AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK WITH
WARM TEMPS CONTINUING TO FINISH THE WORKWEEK.
THE PATTERN LOOKS MORE AMPLIFIED AND ACTIVE GOING INTO NEXT
WEEKEND WITH MODELS SHOWING A STRONG SYSTEM MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS
THE PLAINS. DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING MOISTURE, INSTABILITY,
AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM, SO WE COULD BE
LOOKING AT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEXT WEEKEND.
