Cool nights and mild days through the week. Highs mainly in the seventies, maybe some lower eighties late week. Dry pattern for the rest of the month with drought conditions worsening. Yeah! Oh baby, check the barometer! Stepped out in Middle Tennessee, feeling that crisp little breeze October sunshine shining down, doing just what I please You looking for a little moisture? Looking for a cloud in the sky? Well, lean in close, sweet thing, let me tell you why Temperatures a couple degrees below normal today But I am bringing all the heat anyway! Upper level ridging building up through the valley floor You think you want some rain? Honey, you will just want me more! Two hundred forty hours on the Global Forecast System model line And everything is looking totally fine! So take a ride on this dry fall breeze Mornings in the forties, afternoons in the seventies! If you are looking for rain, you are out of luck tonight You came to the wrong place for relief! Yeah, you came to the wrong place for relief! By Tuesday afternoon, the ridge is gonna take control Mid to upper seventies, ready to rock and roll Maybe some lower eighties when the week gets late Don't bother setting up a rain date! Drought conditions worsening, the mercury is on the rise I see that wild little spark in your eyes! Upper level ridging building up through the valley floor You think you want some rain? Honey, you will just want me more! Two hundred forty hours on the Global Forecast System model line And everything is looking totally fine! So take a ride on this dry fall breeze Mornings in the forties, afternoons in the seventies! If you are looking for rain, you are out of luck tonight You came to the wrong place for relief! Yeah, you came to the wrong place for relief! Yeah! Clear skies, baby! Just dry autumn air and pure rock and roll! Think twice before you light that fire! You came to the wrong place for relief! Wrong place for relief!
The forecast discussion
KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1202 PM CDT Sun Oct 18 2026
- Cool nights and mild days through the week.
Highs mainly in the 70s, maybe some lower 80s late week.
- Dry pattern for the rest of the month with drought conditions worsening.
SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1037 AM CDT Sun Oct 18 2026
Clear skies and wonderfully cool-ish temperatures across all of Middle TN at forecast time.
With a little breeze, fall has arrived.
However, it is October and that means dreadfully dry conditions and if you came here looking for relief in that category, you've come to the wrong place.
Through Monday, dry conditions are expected with temperatures a couple of degrees below normal.
LONG TERM
(Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1037 AM CDT Sun Oct 18 2026
As Tuesday rolls around, we'll start to see the effects of strengthening upper level ridging across the mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
Temperatures will start to climb a few degrees above normal and will likely stay there for several days.
No record breaking heat, but mid to upper 70s will be common in the afternoon along with cool mornings mainly in the 40s.
The other thing that will be common is the lack of rain. 240 hours in the GFS and Euro and no rain in sight.
This means worsening drought conditions when we're already hurting.
Light winds throughout the forecast should mitigate any real fire weather concerns, but you may want to start thinking twice before initiating any outdoor fires for a while.
Maybe November will bring much needed rain.
