.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday Night)
Issued at 102 AM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024

Surface obs this morning show cool, dry air across Middle TN in
the wake of yesterday's cold front. Radar also shows some showers
that have developed mainly across west TN this morning. Given the
dry air in place, not expecting much to come from this other than
sprinkles at best. Otherwise this weekend, temperatures will stay
cool as surface high pressure currently centered over Montana 
travels southward into the southern Great Plains, keeping surface 
winds northerly over Middle TN. Aloft, weak embedded disturbances 
may result in some very light rain at times, mainly for areas 
south of I-40. Most will probably only notice increased cloud 
cover with the passage of these weak disturbances.

By Sunday night, clouds will clear out of the area. Combined with
light winds, low temperatures are expected to fall into the 30's 
which may lead to patchy frost across much of the area as we head
into Monday morning.
