Patchy fog again tonight. Seasonal highs today with a warming trend over the weekend, becoming hot next week, with highs in the low to upper nineties. Low to no rain chances. Dew points sitting sixty, cumulus in the sky Morning fog is clearing while the afternoon goes dry Temperatures climbing, eighty-five on the clock Western ridge is moving in to put us in a lock Upper atmosphere shifting, troffing forced to yield No convection forming over Tennessee fields Slow warm up starting on Saturday morning No precipitation, no severe weather warning Pressure baseline rising high Watch the upper pattern die Dew points in the sixties but the ceiling is high The western system building in a cloudless sky The troff in the atmosphere forced to release Everything we loved is shoved to the east Three to four degrees warmer when the sun comes back Subtle shift of power on a silent track Diurnal chances low, plateau gets the rest High pressure monster parking in the west September on the doorstep, calendar turns red Summer isn't dying, summer isn't dead EAST! Upper troff shoved out! Ridge parked overhead! No relief coming! Ninety-eight degrees! Humidity holds reasonable, but the heat remains Overhead heat dome trapped inside our veins Shoved to the east! Shoved to the east!

- Patchy fog again tonight.
- Seasonal highs today with a warming trend over the weekend, becoming hot next week, with highs in the low to upper 90s.
- Low to no rain chances.
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Saturday) Issued at 1041 AM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026
After some patchy fog this morning, we are just seeing some cumulus this morning.
Dew points are in the 60s and temperatures will top out in the 80s this afternoon.
We'll see some more patchy fog overnight before we start the slow warm up. The upper air pattern begins to shift on Saturday as the western ridge shoves the upper troughing currently over our area to the east.
Highs on Saturday will be 3-4 degrees warmer than today but humidity will continue to be reasonable.
LONG TERM
(Saturday Night through next Friday) Issued at 1041 AM CDT Fri Aug 28 2026
The ridge will continue to build to start the week with temperatures climbing into the mid 90s during the early part of the week.
The ridge will park over the area by mid to late week with highs getting into the upper 90s for a large part of the area.
As far as rain, very low to low diurnal chances will be possible through the week with chances slightly favoring the plateau.
Bottom line of the forecast, we may be moving into September, but we are certainly not done with summer.
