KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 1019 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2026
- PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE SOUTH OF I-40 TONIGHT.
- MEDIUM RAIN CHANCES SUNDAY NIGHT. LOW THUNDER CHANCES. NO SEVERE
WEATHER EXPECTED.
SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1019 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2026
SKIES HAVE CLEARED OUT ACROSS MIDDLE TN THIS EVENING AND
TEMPERATURES HAVE STARTED TO COOL. MANY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-40 ARE
STILL RELATIVELY WARM, BUT THOSE SOUTH OF I-40 ARE ALREADY NEARING
LOCAL DEW POINTS. WITH CALM WINDS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT, THIS COULD
SPELL SOME PATCHY FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEVERAL NEAR-TERM MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING SOME OF THE DENSE STUFF ALONG THE TN-AL STATE LINE,
STRETCHING UP TOWARDS CROSSVILLE. WILL MONITOR FOR THE NEED OF ANY
ADVISORIES AT THIS POINT AS IT MAY NOT BE THAT WIDESPREAD. IF YOU'RE
HEADED OUT FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING, JUST KNOW YOU MAY ENCOUNTER
REDUCED VISIBILITIES IN THESE AREAS.
AS WE MOVE INTO TOMORROW, ANY FOG WILL CLEAR OUT AND UNDER PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE, TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR
MOST. CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON,
HOWEVER. THIS WILL SIGNAL THE BEGINNING OF OUR NEXT WEATHER
SYSTEM. A WEAK FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE MID-STATE
TOMORROW EVENING, BRINGING WITH IT SHOWERS AND WHAT MAY BE A FEW
STORMS. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE BULK OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
POST-FRONTAL. THAT MEANS ANY STORMS THAT WE DO SEE ARE EXPECTED TO
BE ELEVATED AND WILL REMAIN BELOW ANY SEVERE CRITERIA. SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND POSSIBLY INTO THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS ON MONDAY. QPFS ARE MEAGER. ONE QUARTER INCH OR
LESS IS EXPECTED.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1019 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2026
THESE MEAGER AMOUNTS OF RAIN ARE UNFORTUNATE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE
WHILE WE HAVE LOW RAIN CHANCES A COUPLE OF TIMES OVER THE NEXT WEEK
TO 10 DAYS, RAINFALL AMOUNTS REMAIN LIMITED. THE FIRST CHANCE IS
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND ANOTHER NEXT WEEKEND. CURRENTLY,
BOTH LOOK PATHETIC AND THE BUMP WE GOT FROM LAST WEEK'S RAIN MAY
VERY WELL BE SHORT-LIVED AS DROUGHT CONDITIONS MAY ONLY PROVE TO
BECOME WORSE THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. I SUPPOSE IF
THERE'S ANY GOOD NEWS, TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN TOLERABLE WITH
HIGHS NEAR OR ONLY A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THIS WEEK. THERE
ARE SOME INDICATIONS THIS COULD CHANGE IN OUR EXTENDED GUIDANCE,
BUT I'LL NEED TO SEE THAT FOR A FEW MORE RUNS TO START TALKING
ABOUT IT AT ANY GREAT LENGTH. IN THE END, WE CAN HANG OUR HATS ON
THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF NO SEVERE WEATHER ANY TIME SOON.
