Issued at 258 PM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025
No adjustments are necessary for the near term forecast this
afternoon, as sunny and dry conditions prevail across the TN
Valley, with temperatures near predicted highs for the day. A
light but persistent southeast wind may offset radiational cooling
to some extent overnight, with lows predicted to range from the
l-m 50s in the east to the u50s in the west.
Previous Discussion:
The general synoptic pattern consists of a longwave ridge with
embedded shortwave impulses in place for much of the CONUS east of
the Rocky Mountains, all while an upper trough digs atop the
Pacific Coast. An expansive area of surface high pressure centered
along the New England Coast will continue to promote dry
conditions locally. Slightly above normal afternoon temperatures
will cool to seasonal normals owing to clear skies and light winds
tonight.

The aforementioned high pressure with continued below normal PWAT
values will promote dry conditions and near to slightly above
normal temperatures through the weekend. The most notable change
will take place Sunday as H85 flow enhances to 15-20kts and
becomes more oriented from the ESE. The increasing moisture
advection will allow dewpoints to climb back into the 60s. Sunday
afternoon will likely feel a bit more muggy relative to the
previous few days as a result.

(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 1225 PM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025
As the previously mentioned trough and an attendant front
progresses eastward into the Mississippi River and Tennessee
Valley by the early to mid-week, shower and storm chances will
make a gradual return to the area. Still some discrepancies among
long term guidance this far out, thus, finer details remain
unknown at this time. Overall, probability of precipitation
increases to around 20-40% Mon-Wed, with potential drier and
cooler air filtering in by the latter half of the week.
