(Rest of today through Sunday) 
Issued at 1114 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Most of the rain has cleared the area late this morning with just
a small band of showers across the Upper Cumberland. Satellite
imagery does show some breaks in the clouds which should make for
a nice rest of the day as temperatures warm into the upper 70's or
low 80's. Overall, a quiet weekend still looks to be in store
despite the active pattern setting up to our west. This is thanks
to upper-level ridging building overhead, keeping the area dry and
warm. High temperatures are expected to warm into the low to
mid-80's each afternoon Saturday and Sunday. Winds will be gusty,
especially on Saturday, thanks to a decent pressure gradient
between the trough to our west and the ridging to our east. Winds
should stay below advisory criteria though with gusts of 20-30 mph
with perhaps occasional gusts near 35 mph.
