SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1123 PM CDT THU APR 9 2026
CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES CURRENTLY ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE THIS
EVENING, A PATTERN THAT LOOKS TO CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND. WE MAY
SEE A FEW MORE HIGHER CLOUDS HERE AND THERE THROUGH SUNDAY, BUT
OVERALL, IT IS EXPECTED TO BE NICE AND CLEAR. LOWS TONIGHT IN THE
MID-STATE WILL BE IN THE MID 40S ON THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU, TO MID
50S BY THE TENNESSEE RIVER. FRIDAY'S HIGHS WILL BE FAIRLY SIMILAR TO
TODAY'S: MID 70S TO LOW 80S. AS FOR SATURDAY TEMPERATURES, THE HEAT
ONLY INCREASES WITH HIGHS GETTING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S. AS
A SYSTEM PASSES TO OUR NORTH ON SATURDAY, SOME LOCATIONS NEAR THE
KENTUCKY BORDER HAVE A VERY LOW (<20%) CHANCE OF SEEING SOME
SHOWERS, BUT NO ONE ELSE CAN EXPECT ANY RAIN THIS WEEKEND.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1123 PM CDT THU APR 9 2026
AS THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN US AMPLIFIES, A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS ON TRACK TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT
PLAINS REGION OF THE US AND CANADA. THIS WILL SQUEEZE THE RIDGE, AND
CREATE SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS OVER MIDDLE TENNESSEE DUE TO PRESSURE
GRADIENT FORCE. AS WE HEAD INTO THE START OF THE WORK WEEK, RAIN
CHANCES WILL SLOWLY INCREASE: FROM ISOLATED AT THE START OF THE WEEK
TO MORE WIDESPREAD AS WE SLIDE INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THIS WILL
CERTAINLY HELP DROUGHT CONDITIONS (WE HOPE). I SAY HOPE, BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW, GUIDANCE DOESN'T SHOW A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN. AREAS AROUND
CLARKSVILLE HAVE THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF SEEING SOME TO START THE WORK
WEEK, SITTING AT 40% CHANCE OF A TENTH OF AN INCH RIGHT NOW. WE'LL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THESE TRENDS AS WE GET INTO SOME OF THE MORE
HIGH-RESOLUTION GUIDANCE.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES, THE APRIL SHOWERS HAVEN'T EVEN BROUGHT MAY
FLOWERS YET, AND SUMMER IS ALREADY TRYING TO MAKE ITSELF AT HOME!
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO CONTINUE TO RISE INTO WIDESPREAD MID-80S BY MID-
WEEK.
