New AVIATION
NEAR TERM
(Today)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024
Mid/high cloud cover continues to spread into mid TN Valley from the SW, as an upper ridge pattern gradually moves eastward into the southern Atlantic states. SSE flow is also well entrenched over much of the region, as high pressure becomes anchored off of the mid/southern Atlantic Coast. Current temps are mainly in the upper 60s/lower 70s and with the return flow pattern well in place, early morning temps will likely only fall a few more degrees. Little change in these overall conditions are expected going more into the daytime hrs, with SE winds increasing closer to 15-20 MPH coupled with gusts near 25-30 MPH at times. With the upper ridge axis also remaining in place over parts of the region, highs look to again climb mainly into the upper 70s/lower 80s.
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Monday night)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024
Little change in the overall wx pattern is again expected heading into the weekend period, as the upper ridge axis translates more into the mid/southern Atlantic states and high pressure settles into the southern Atlantic Basin. This should translate into relatively breezy conditions continuing into the new week, with gusts around 20-30 MPH at times. Partly/mostly cloudy skies will also continue across the central TN Valley, given some lingering moisture below H7 prevailing into the new work week. Seasonably warm temps look to prevail both Sun/Mon, with highs predom in the lower 80s/near 80F and overnight lows into early Tue trending in the upper 50s/mid 60s. Increasing showers/tstms will then return to the forecast Mon/Mon night, as the influx of moisture into the area strengthens and an upper trough pattern traverses eastward into the Mid South/TN Valley areas.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 155 AM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024
Showers and storms will come to an end from west to east across the area on Tuesday as the shortwave lifts northeast and upper ridging begins to push east across the Deep South. South/southwesterly flow will keep a more tropical airmass in place through the remainder of the work week, and daily highs in the low to mid 80s are forecast with overnight lows in the low to mid 60s. A series of weaker disturbances will be embedded within the upper ridge, and will result in daily low chances (20-30%) for showers and thunderstorms. Models show an upper low tracking over the northern Plains heading into the weekend, and a cold front will push south through the Midwest and into the mid MS River Valley. This system will result in an increase in shower/storm chances (40-50%) Friday into the weekend.
AVIATION
