Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for McMinnville, TN

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday Night)
Issued at 937 PM CDT Wed May 21 2025

A quieter stretch of weather is still in store through the remainder of the work week an upper-level ridge builds just to our west. This keeps dry, northwest flow overhead through Friday. Our temperatures remain cool with highs in the 70s each afternoon with low humidity values. It'll be beautiful and very nice for the end of May. As far as rain chances go, there's only a low chance for light rain tonight and into Thursday morning, mainly for the southwest as an embedded shortwave moves through the area. Don't anticipate any impacts from this, and any rain totals should only amount to a few hundredths.

LONG TERM
(Saturday through next Thursday)
Issued at 937 PM CDT Wed May 21 2025

Rain chances return just in time for the weekend as a weak trough moves through the area Saturday with a stronger system Sunday and into Monday. Don't see anything significant at this time for the weekend. Severe weather chances remain low this weekend with little forcing available. However, there is a cold front that approaches on Monday as the stronger trough moves into the Midwest that could provide better forcing for thunderstorms. So certainly something to watch as we get closer. Otherwise, be sure to enjoy these below normal temperatures while they last. Forecast highs through the weekend remain in the 70s which is remarkable for late May.
