...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 826 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Not a ton to talk about at update time this evening, but there's a
few mentionables. Winds continue to be breezy. Occasional gusts of
20-25 mph will be possible through the night and well into
tomorrow as the pressure gradient has tightened across the area.
With the clouds that are present, the winds will help temperatures
remain warm overnight. So warm, in fact, that the warmest minimum
temperature record might be in jeopardy tomorrow morning.
Currently, the record is 66 set in 1989 and we have 67 in the
forecast at BNA. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the
potential for some sprinkles overnight and into the mid-morning
hours tomorrow. I don't think it's going to be enough to register
in anyone's CoCoRaHS rain gauge, but if you have morning plans,
keep this in mind.
