..NEW SHORT TERM, LONG TERM
KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1028 AM CDT WED APR 16 2025
- NEXT CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD RAINS MAY NOT BE UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT OR
MONDAY BUT WE ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON SATURDAY FOR A CONDITIONAL
STORM THREAT.
SHORT TERM
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1028 AM CDT WED APR 16 2025
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS SLIDING ACROSS THE REGION TODAY, SO WE
ARE ENJOYING CONTINUED ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WITH CONSIDERABLY LIGHTER
WINDS THAN YESTERDAY. THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE
REMAINS QUITE DRY. PRECIPITABLE WATER FROM THE 1530Z ACARS
SOUNDING AT BNA COMES IN AT 0.287", FOR A PWAT+ VALUE OF 43
(OBSERVED PWAT IS 43% OF THE DAILY MEAN VALUE). CURRENT DEWPOINTS
ARE LARGELY IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER TODAY THAN ON MONDAY, AND TOMORROW'S
WILL BE EVEN WARMER, DESPITE THE ADDITION OF A FEW MORE CLOUDS. A
WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL RIPPLE ACROSS THE MID STATE ON THURSDAY. THE
DEEPEST MOISTURE LOOKS TO STAY NORTH OF US, BUT WE CAN'T
COMPLETELY RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO NORTH OF I-40.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1028 AM CDT WED APR 16 2025
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM ON FRIDAY, AND HERE'S WHERE
READINGS WILL LEVEL OFF FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. HIGHS AND LOWS
GOING FORWARD WILL STAY REMARKABLY EVEN AT LEAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
RAIN CHANCES MAY RETURN SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS A SURFACE
BOUNDARY STALLS OUT TO OUR NORTH AND WEST. THE NBM GIVES US BETTER
PROBABILITIES OF CONVECTION SUNDAY, SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY
AS THE BOUNDARY MAKES SLOW PROGRESS. WHILE THE SPC HINTS AT SOME
SEVERE STORM RISK TO THE IMMEDIATE W/NW OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE MID
STATE REMAINS VERY LOW. AND SO DO QPF VALUES. THE 13Z NBM GIVES
BNA AN 83% PROBABILITY OF MEASURABLE RAINFALL FROM SUNDAY MORNING
UNTIL EARLY TUESDAY (48-HR QPF), BUT ONLY A 39% OF 1/2" OR MORE.
SO WHILE WE FIND OURSELVES TRANSITIONING TO A WET PATTERN BY THE
START OF NEXT WEEK, THERE DOESN'T LOOK TO BE ANY SORT OF "ROLLER-
COASTER" OF TEMPERATURE SWINGS. LOOKING FARTHER AHEAD, BOTH THE
6-10 DAY AND 8-14 DAY OUTLOOKS FROM THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER
FAVOR ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS
MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
