- Clouds clearing with low to medium chances for showers southeast half of the area today.
- Dry Monday through at least Friday with cool nights and warm days.
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1112 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2026
Clouds are slowly clearing Middle Tennessee this morning, with full clearing by the time we get into this evening and tonight.
Highs will be in the 70s today, with areas that see additional sunshine as clouds clear from NW to SE getting to 80 degrees.
Overnight, we will drop into the low to mid 50s areawide under clear skies, kicking off another dry period in Middle Tennessee.
Thanks to the reinforcing cold front swinging through Monday, we will see nice cold air advection into the area for the beginning of the week.
Highs will initially be in the 70s and low 80s (much like today), and skies will be clear as high pressure sets up over the state once again.
LONG TERM
(Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1112 AM CDT Sun Oct 4 2026
Unfortunately the cold air advection won't last long.
Highs will slowly warm back into the mid 80s as the week wears on. The morning lows are where the chilly air really shines, as temperatures will dip into the 40s and 50s across the area through mid-week next week.
High pressure will keep us dry through the week, with the next low chance for rain on the weekend.
Hopefully, we can get enough to help bust more of this drought, but we're unsure on specifics like amounts and exact locations at this time.
