SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1110 PM CDT WED MAY 28 2025
A CLOSED OFF LOW IS SITTING OVER THE GREAT LAKES WITH A SHORT WAVE
TROUGH LIFTING OUT OF TX. THIS WILL BRING HIGH CLOUDS FOR THE
OVERNIGHT. DESPITE THE CLOUD COVER WE STILL SHOULD SEE PATCHY FOG
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT MAINLY OUTSIDE OF NASHVILLE WHERE THE LOW LEVEL
INVERSION IS STRONGER. THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL LIFT INTO TN
DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. THIS WILL BRING RAIN CHANCES AFTER
DAYBREAK AND THEN WE WILL SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
FOR THE AFTERNOON. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL THEN BECOME AN OPEN
WAVE AND THE TROUGH AXIS WILL DIG INTO THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE WESTERN PART OF
THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT AND IT WILL WORK EAST THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. A BROKEN LINE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CAN BE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND LOOK TO PUSH INTO THE
WESTERN PART OF THE AREA AFTER 8 PM.
WE WILL SEE MODEST CAPE DURING THE AFTERNOON LIKELY REMAINING
BELOW 1000 J/KG BUT CAPE WEST OF I-65 WILL INCREASE TO 800-1300
J/KG IN THE EVENING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. BULK SHEAR WILL ALSO
GRADUALLY PICK UP IN THE EVENING AND WILL APPROACH 25-35 KNOTS.
LAPSE RATES WILL BE ON THE POOR SIDE AND THAT WILL BE A LIMITING
FACTOR ON SEVERE WEATHER, ALSO SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW STRONG THE
FORCING WILL BE. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A LOW
CHANCE FOR GUSTY WINDS MAINLY WITH THE ANY OF THE STORMS THURSDAY
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT WEST OF I-65. STORM AND CAPE WILL FALL
OFF AS THEY PUSH EAST. THE TROUGH AXIS WILL SWING THROUGH DURING
THE LATER OVERNIGHT AND THAT WILL BRING MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS LATE OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. A
FEW SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON MAINLY OVER EASTERN
AREAS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S THURSDAY BUT WILL
BE MUCH COOLER ON FRIDAY FALLING INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S. DRY
WEATHER SETTLES IN FRIDAY NIGHT WITH COOL TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
50S.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1110 PM CDT WED MAY 28 2025
A RIDGE WILL BE AMPLIFYING TO OUR WEST OVER THE WEEKEND. WE WILL
BE MAINLY DRY ON SATURDAY WITH HIGHS WARMING BACK INTO THE 80S. A
SHORT WAVE WILL SPIN AROUND THE RIDGE SUNDAY AND TRACK OVER MIDDLE
TN. THIS WILL BRING A LOW CHANCE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
WILL THEN BUILD EAST NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL PUSH HIGHS WELL INTO THE
80S. A FEW 90S WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION MID TO LATE WEEK.
