KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 719 PM CDT Wed Oct 7 2026
- Dry weather through Friday with cool nights and warm days.
- Remnants of what will become Hurricane Isaias will bring high rain chances and gusty winds this weekend.
Rainfall totals of 1-3" and wind gusts up to 30-40 mph are possible.

SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Thursday) Issued at 1116 AM CDT Wed Oct 7 2026
Northwesterly flow aloft will persist through the remainder of the week as surface high pressure dominates the region.
This pattern will keep Middle TN dry with warm days and cool nights.
A weak and moisture-starved cold front will drop south across the area tomorrow, but it will bring nothing but a surface wind shift from SW to NE.
LONG TERM
(Thursday Night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1116 AM CDT Wed Oct 7 2026
Our quiet weather will come to an end this weekend as Tropical Storm Isaias will eventually become Hurricane Isaias and make landfall somewhere along the MS/AL/FL coast.
The storm will weaken as it encounters land and progresses north towards Middle TN. 1-3" of rain is possible with areas west of I-65 having a higher likelihood of seeing the greatest amounts (50-60% chance of 2"+). 30-40 mph wind gusts are possible as well.
The highest rain chances and strongest gusts will occur between Saturday afternoon and early Sunday with conditions improving through the day Sunday.
As of right now, significant impacts to Middle TN are not expected.
The severe threat remains low at this time but will be monitored over the coming days, and any rain will be beneficial to ongoing drought conditions.
We'll return to warm, dry weather at the start of next week with highs in the 80s and comfortable humidity.
