OUR STRETCH OF QUIET, WARM, AND DRY WEATHER IS GOING TO CONTINUE
FOR MUCH OF THIS FORECAST. WE ARE UNDER A SHORT WAVE RIDGE TODAY
AND THAT WILL BRING A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO THE REGION. HIGHS WILL PUSH
INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S. WEAK SHORT WAVES WILL BE PASSING TO OUR
SOUTH AND THAT WILL BRING HIGH CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT MUCH
CHANGE IN THE FORECAST AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY. LOOKING AT MUCH
OF THE SAME WITH HIGHS A FEW DEGREES WARMER.
LONG TERM

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS GOING TO AMPLIFY OVER THE SOUTHEAST US LATE
WEEK INTO THE START OF THE WEEKEND. THAT WILL KEEP THE QUIET
WEATHER IN PLACE WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES. WE WILL SEE HIGHS RISE
INTO THE 80S STARTING FRIDAY WITH WIDESPREAD 80S OVER THE WEEKEND.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (<20%) THAT NASHVILLE AND NORTHWEST AREAS
SEE HIGHS REACH 90+ OVER THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
START TO MOVE EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK AS TROUGHING DEVELOPS TO OUR
WEST OVER THE ROCKIES. THAT WILL BRIG LOW RAIN CHANCES TO THE
AREA MID-WEEK BUT AT THIS POINT CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN SEEING RAIN.
