.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Saturday)
Issued at 1145 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

At midday, a cold front was moving across Middle Tennessee. On the
southeast side of the front including the Plateau, temperatures 
had warmed into the lower 70s with partial sunshine. On the
northwest side of the front, low overcast skies and patchy 
drizzle was holding temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
Look for the low clouds and cooler temps to continue spreading
southeastward through the rest of the day. Patchy drizzle or
sprinkles will continue area wide. 

Through the weekend, the center of a large, cool high pressure
system will move from Canada down the plains, eventually to the 
Mid Ms Valley. This will bring persisent, cooling north winds into
Middle Tennessee. Higher up in the atmosphere, a quasi zonal flow
will bring pockets of moisture and several weak impulses across 
the southern states. This will give us a good deal of cloud cover 
through the weekend with occasional chances for sprinkles. The 
chance for measurable rainfall is generally less than 10 percent 
across the north half and in the 10 to 30 percent range across 
our southern counties. Overall, we are not looking for a washout 
weekend, but perhaps a few nuisance drops at times. Overnight lows
will be mostly in the 40s with daytime highs mostly 60s.
