Updated at six thirty A.M. Central Daylight Time Sunday October eleventh, twenty twenty-six. Light showers continue tonight with rain chances ending from west to east today. Warm, dry weather is forecast next week with temperatures well above normal most days. One, two, yeah! Whoa-oh-oh! Check it out! That surface low was hanging on the border real tight Spinning near the Tennessee and Alabama line all night But I'm lifting out of here, clearing up the sky West of the plateau, baby, watch the clouds fly-y-y! Rain chances dropping out from west to east You want the sunshine, honey? I'm the main release! Sunday night is cooling off into the fifties, yeah But Monday morning shortwaves gotta take us there! Are you ready for the heat? Here it comes! So baby lose the coat, step into the shade! That stubborn ridge is bringing heat we made! Whoa-oh-oh! We're burning bright and brand new! Yeah, we're hitting highs in the 80s! Ten to fifteen degrees above the usual trend Midweek is rolling in and it just don't end That frontal boundary's trying hard to push down south But the upper ridge is stubborn, like the words in my mouth-h-h! Low chances up along the Kentucky line But you and me, sweetheart, we're doing just fine! Sunday night was cooling off into the fifties, yeah But this shortwave ridging's gonna take us there! Are you ready for the heat? Here it comes! So baby lose the coat, step into the shade! That stubborn ridge is bringing heat we made! Whoa-oh-oh! We're burning bright and brand new! Yeah, we're hitting highs in the 80s! Highs in the 80s, baby! Yeah, ten to fifteen degrees above normal! That troff in the Great Lakes can wait till late week! Whoa-oh-oh! Yeah, we're rain free tonight!
The forecast discussion
KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 630 AM CDT Sun Oct 11 2026
- Light showers continue tonight with rain chances ending from west to east today.
- Warm, dry weather is forecast next week with temperatures well above-normal most days.
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Monday Night) Issued at 1042 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026
Scattered light showers continue to rotate around the area tonight with the surface low centered near the TN/AL border.
The low will lift through the area through the remainder of the overnight hours with enough low level moisture for some continuing light activity.
As the low lift away from the area in the morning, rain chances will decrease from west to east along with a lot of the cloud cover.
Areas west of the plateau should see the return of the sun prior to sunset.
The entire area will be rain free Sunday night with lows dropping into the 50s.
Shortwave ridging will quickly build into the area on Monday with temperatures back to well above normal with highs in the 80s.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1042 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026
High temperatures will continue to be 10-15 degrees above normal through midweek.
A frontal boundary will try to push south toward the area but the upper ridging will be stubborn.
If the boundary is able to push far enough south, there will be some low rain chances along the TN/KY border Wednesday and Thursday.
A stronger trough will move through the Great Lakes late in the week which will push the frontal boundary through the area allowing temperatures to fall back closer to normal for mid October.
