KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1133 AM CDT THU AUG 28 2025
- AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL APPROACH SEASONAL NORMALS FROM
TODAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, AFTER WHICH TEMPERATURES WILL START
TO BACK OFF SOMEWHAT.
- A GENERALLY DRY PATTERN WILL LAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EXPECT
LOW TO MEDIUM RAIN CHANCES FROM LABOR DAY INTO THURSDAY, THEN
HOPEFULLY A DRY FIRST WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER.
- LOW RH VALUES AND DRY FUELS WILL CREATE A MARGINAL FIRE DANGER
WITH WORSENING DROUGHT CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WEST OF
I-65.
SHORT TERM
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1034 AM CDT THU AUG 28 2025
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE HAS SHIFTED TO OUR EAST, BUT STILL NO RETURN
FLOW IS ON THE WAY FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE JUST YET, SO TEMPERATURES
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY'S. AN UPPER TROUGH
WILL SWING THROUGH THE MID STATE DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS,
BUT RAIN CHANCES REMAIN MINIMAL OWING TO THE DRY, STABLE AIR MASS
THAT HAS SETTLED ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE
SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN TODAY, BUT STILL QUITE PLEASANT OWING TO A
COOL MORNING AND LOW AFTERNOON RH VALUES, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WEST
OF I-65.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1034 AM CDT THU AUG 28 2025
VERY LOW RAIN CHANCES WILL LAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A SURFACE
LOW, OR AT LEAST A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DRIFT EASTWARD ALONG THE
GULF COAST FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY, BUT THE ACTIVE WEATHER FROM
THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO REMAIN SOUTH OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE. THUS
WE CAN EXPECT CONTINUED WARM AFTERNOONS AND PLEASANT MORNINGS
THROUGH SUNDAY. LOW TO MEDIUM RAIN CHANCES RETURN TO THE FORECAST
ON MONDAY AND LOOK TO STICK AROUND AT LEAST INTO THURSDAY AS THE
UPPER PATTERN FLATTENS OUT AND A DEEP SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER
THE REGION AND PROVIDES ADDED MOISTURE AND BETTER DYNAMICS FOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. GIVEN THE ADDED CLOUD COVER, TEMPERATURES
WILL START TO TREND BACK DOWNWARD STARTING ON LABOR DAY. THE 7-DAY
QPF TOTALS RANGE FROM JUST A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH AROUND
DOVER TO OVER 1.5 INCHES OVER PORTIONS OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU.
THUS, DESPITE THE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES NEXT WEEK, THERE DOESN'T
APPEAR TO BE ANY RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR THE BURGEONING DROUGHT
CONDITIONS THAT ARE BEGINNING TO IMPACT AREAS WEST OF I-65.
