Updated at six twenty-four A.M. Central Daylight Time Friday October sixteenth twenty twenty-six. A breezy cold front arrives this morning, bringing much cooler temperatures for the weekend. The Cumberland Plateau and low lying areas west of the Plateau will see the first light frost of the season early Sunday morning. There are only very low rain chances with today's frontal passage and none hereafter, so drought conditions are expected to worsen. A few hundredths of an inch along the Kentucky and Tennessee state line. Moisture deprived. The front moves in with empty hands. Mid-sixties in the northwest. Mid-seventies in the southeast. A quiet, hollow chill settling over the low-lying areas. The Cumberland Plateau freezes under thirty-degree skies. We watch the mercury fall into the darkness. High pressure settles in for the work week. No moisture in the upper air. No salvage in the atmosphere. The winds are turning north. The boundary is dry. The sky holds back every single drop. A moisture-deprived front crawling through the dust Leaving us hollow, starving for rain The earth is parched, nothing hereafter The earth is parched, nothing hereafter ZERO PRECIPITATION! THE DROUGHT EXPANDS! A FEW HUNDREDTHS WILL NEVER SAVE THIS GROUND! NO RAIN HEREAFTER! WE ARE BURNING DRY! Nothing hereafter. The frost takes the plateau. Nothing hereafter.

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Saturday Night) Issued at 1039 PM CDT Thu Oct 15 2026
Friday will be more overcast than today was with the arrival of the cold front to our doorstep.
Even though the cold front is mostly deprived of moisture, there is a low chance for some showers on the KY/TN state line.
Not looking at any meaningful QPF with these chances, but a few hundredths are possible.
Highs tomorrow will be varied over the area: in the mid 60s in the NW to the mid 70s in the SE.
The real change in air mass will be felt Saturday morning and into the weekend.
Highs will be in the 60s, with morning lows in the 30s and 40s.
So break out those jackets if you haven't already, you'll be needing them this weekend.
LONG TERM
(Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 1039 PM CDT Thu Oct 15 2026
The colder airmass will have some spots on the Cumberland Plateau looking at their first frost of the season Sunday morning.
After the cold front passes, high pressure will settle in for the work week, unfortunately warming our temperatures back into the upper 70s by mid week.
Fortunately, we look to stay around seasonal normals for temperatures, and not get as anomalously warm as we were this week.
The forecast has no precipitation after Sunday, so this is bad news for the ongoing drought in Middle Tennessee.
