.NEAR TERM... (Today) Issued at 345 AM CDT Fri Oct 3 2025
Current temperatures are in the lower 60s across the Tennessee Valley. Dry air over the region has resulted in dew point depressions between 7-10 degrees. This, in addition to winds hovering around 5 mph or so, has kept fog formation at bay so far and will continue to prevent any fog through the morning hours. Lows this morning are also still set to dip into the mid 50s to around 60 degrees for most locations. Therefore, the forecast remains on track. Another dry day is then in store to round out the work week, as upper level ridging and surface high pressure maintain their hold over much of the Southeast. Skies are expected to be mostly clear with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. Enjoy your Friday!

As sfc high pressure and subsequent dry weather continues, we expect a pleasant weekend for outdoor activities. Highs are forecast to be slightly above-normal, reaching the mid to upper 80s in most locations. Overnight lows are forecast to drop into the upper 50s and 60s.

.LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Thursday) Issued at 1022 PM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025
An upper level trough is forecast to push eastward through the Mississippi Valley by early next week, placing the Tennessee Valley in a favorable location for some low to medium rain chances returning to the area. However, model disagreement remains persistent and therefore there is low confidence in these rain chances materializing at this time. If there is any interest in outdoor activities next week, be sure to check back for details as we progress through this weekend.
