Key Messages

Updated at 1223 PM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

- Mild, sunny days and cool, clear nights will continue through the end of the upcoming work week.

- No rain is expected through the upcoming week, but the pattern begins to shift next weekend.

- Drought conditions will continue to worsen.

Short Term

(Rest of today through Sunday) Issued at 1055 AM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

Another cool, dry, and sunny day is underway across Middle TN. This morning's upper air soundings placed a highly amplified midlevel ridge over the ArkLATex region, leading to northerly flow aloft for the TN Valley. This is part of the reason we have such pleasant humidity values; cool, dry air is being advected along the ridge from the Central Plains. Expect a persistence forecast through the weekend as this same pattern will set up again tomorrow.

Long Term

(Sunday Night through next Saturday) Issued at 1055 AM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

The majority of the week is expected to feature broad ridging over the eastern CONUS, which will keep temperatures 5-10 degrees above normal. Despite this abnormally warm regime, it will still feel quite pleasant to the average person. "Normal" temperatures for this time of year are around 70 degrees in the afternoon, so temperatures in the mid to upper 70s is anomalous but not uncomfortably warm. Humidity remains low through the week as well. With no rain in sight through the end of the week, areawide drought conditions are expected to worsen.

You'll have to look beyond the current forecast period for signs of a pattern shift. Long range ensembles finally hint at a transition to more to a troughing regime starting next Saturday (Halloween). LREF probabilities of measurable rainfall (0.01") jump up to 30-40% Saturday night into Sunday morning. This will be something to keep an eye on for trick-or-treating night. Several solutions are much later with the onset of precip on Sunday, but worth keeping an eye on for the few outliers Saturday afternoon.

Aviation

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1223 PM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

All is quiet across Middle TN with clear skies and light winds. A few high clouds will move in from the west tonight, but VFR conditions will prevail through the period.
