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.

THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (<20%) THAT NASHVILLE AND NORTHWEST AREAS
SEE HIGHS REACH 90+ OVER THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
