Patchy dense fog tonight, mainly east of Interstate sixty-five. Warm, dry weather this week with temperatures well above normal, record highs possible Tuesday to Thursday. MIX IT OUT! MIX IT OUT! Blind in the valley, suffocating in the soup! East of Interstate sixty-five, the thick air closes in! Advisory issued until fifteen zulu! The upper ridge is locking us down! No escape from the pressure! Strengthening heat, rising through the floor! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! BURN IT DOWN! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! The upper ridge exerts its force! No moisture left to bring the rain! Standing in the suffocating dry! Record highs will fall! Meager moisture! No relief! Eighty-nine degrees in Nashville! FALL WILL NOT SAVE YOU! DISAPPEAR INTO THE FOG! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! BURN IT DOWN! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! EIGHTY-NINE! Fifteen zulu burns away the grey! Record highs will fall! Record highs will fall!

KEY MESSAGES

- Patchy dense fog tonight, mainly east of I-65.
- Warm, dry weather this week with temperatures well above- normal, record highs possible Tuesday-Thursday.
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Tuesday Night) Issued at 1025 PM CDT Sun Oct 11 2026
Areas of dense fog have developed mainly east of I-65 with any fog much more patchy west of I-65. Models have been pinging the eastern half of the area for dense fog, so a Dense Fog Advisory was issued east of I-65. We'll have to monitor observations through the rest of the night for the need of westward expansion of the advisory.
Fog will mix out by 15z with temperatures rebounding into the 80s during the afternoon thanks to strengthening upper ridging.
Temperatures will fall back to the 50s and 60s Monday night with lower fog potential.
Ridging will continue to exert itself on Tuesday with highs 2-3 degrees warmer than Monday.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 1025 PM CDT Sun Oct 11 2026
The warm and dry weather will continue in the extended period as the upper ridging remains.
We'll may see some record highs fall Tuesday through Thursday.
The records at Nashville are 88, 89, and 89 respectively.
At Crossville, the records are 82, 81, and 79. We'll get back closer to normal on Friday as shortwave swings through the Great Lakes which will drag a cold front through our area.
The moisture with the frontal passage looks meager, so I'm not expecting much in the way of rain with it. Next weekend looks like real Fall with some temperatures in the 30s showing up in the mornings.
