Mild, sunny days and cool, clear nights will continue for the foreseeable future. No rain is expected for at least the next seven days, and likely longer. Drought conditions are going to worsen. A surface ridge sits to the north and west It takes its time across Middle Tennessee A stable atmosphere, an endless crest Locking us into this prophecy Abundant sunshine in the clear sky above The dry air suffocates the soil below No cloud of mercy, no drop of love Just stable misery to watch us grow The National Blend of Models holds no relief Out through day ten the horizon stays clear Scant chances written in our silent grief The curse of autumn that we bound to fear A surface ridge across the land No rain for anyone A surface ridge across the land No rain for anyone The arid conditions will never improve Cool nights and mild afternoons remain A frozen pattern that will never move There is no ending to this quiet pain Day ten arrives with the exact same forecast The ground is splitting underneath our feet A creeping drought designed to last and last Baking the valleys in relentless heat A surface ridge across the land No rain for anyone A surface ridge across the land No rain for anyone No rain for anyone No rain for anyone Day ten Scant chances No rain for anyone

A surface ridge remains situated to the north and west of Middle Tennessee this evening, and will take its time sliding across the region during the next couple of days.
The atmosphere will remain dry and stable, with abundant sunshine and no rain in sight.
LONG TERM
(Friday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1056 PM CDT Tue Oct 20 2026
The arid conditions are unlikely to improve any time soon.
Indeed, it is unclear when our next rain chances might occur.
The latest NBM has scant rain chances across the mid state even out through day 10. Temperatures will remain very stable throughout the 7-day forecast, with cool nights and mild afternoons.
Unfortunately, the drought conditions will continue to worsen.
