.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Aug 30 2019

Another pleasant night expected across the TN Valley. High pressure
will keep skies mostly clear and winds light. This will allow for
radiational cooling to help temps reach seasonable values in the  
lower 60s.

.SHORT TERM...(Saturday through Sunday Night)
Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Aug 30 2019

High pressure will build into the region this weekend increasing
temps back into the lower 90s. Won't have to worry about heat index
values this weekend with the dry air in place! A trough will swing 
through the Great Lakes on Saturday and pull a front into the region
but it will hang up to our north. Will see a little bit of additional
cloud cover by Sunday with the front nearby and as moisture starts 
to return but with the lack of forcing we will remain dry. 

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) 
Issued at 225 PM CDT Fri Aug 30 2019

Warming trend to start the work week as afternoon highs climb into
the lower 90s. The only chance for precip at this time is on
Wednesday as a weak trough drops down from the Great Lakes region. 
Rising dewpts into the upper 60s combined with the incoming trough 
may lead to some diurnally driven thunderstorms. Dry weather pattern 
continues through the end of the forecast period as Hurricane Dorian 
stays well to our east. Current model guidance indicates the track 
of Dorian should stay along the FL/GA coast with the associated 
precip staying to our east as well. Northerly flow on the west side 
of Dorian will bring mild and dry weather to the area Thursday and 
Friday.
