Warm, sunny days and cool, clear nights will continue through the work week. No rain is expected through at least Friday night, but the weather pattern will begin to shift this weekend. Drought conditions will continue to worsen in the near-term. One, two, three, hit it! Whoa! I tell you what, folks! Look outside! We might be a little bit crunchy underfoot, yeah! But you cannot ask for any better fall weather than this! Afternoon highs kicking up into the seventies, Crisp wake-up mornings dropping down into the forties, ha-ha! It has been amazing, and honey, we are not done yet! More of the same right through Friday night! Yeah! We might touch eighty at B N A, But everybody else gets the sunshine ray! Light winds blowing while the ground goes dry, Not a single drop falling from the sky! Whoa! Look at us go, we are crunchy and dry! Yeah! Crunchy and dry! Look at that sun, just spinning around! Maintaining the seventies all across the town! No dark clouds coming to spoil the show, Just a ringmaster running this sunny rodeo! You want some rain? Well, you gotta wait, Friday night comes and it is still looking great! Ha-ha! Yeah! We might touch eighty at B N A, But everybody else gets the sunshine ray! Light winds blowing while the ground goes dry, Not a single drop falling from the sky! Whoa! Look at us go, we are crunchy and dry! Yeah! Crunchy and dry! Yeah! We might touch eighty at B N A, But everybody else gets the sunshine ray! Light winds blowing while the ground goes dry, Not a single drop falling from the sky! Whoa! Look at us go, we are crunchy and dry! Yeah! Crunchy and dry! Not done yet! Keep it dry, Nashville! Seventies all week long! Whoa-oa! Ha-ha-ha! Crunchy and dry!

I tell you what.
We may be crunchy and dry, but you can't ask for any better fall weather than we've seen in the last several days.
Afternoon highs in the 70s and crisp wake-up weather in the 40s?
It's been amazing -- and we're not done yet.
More of the same is expected through Friday.
There may be a day or two we reach 80 at BNA, but everybody else will maintain the 70s with light winds and lots of sun.

Of course, anyone reading this is wondering about the weekend rain.
It's safe to say, we're gonna get it. The question is when.
When I left here last Friday, the GFS already had two days in the books bringing rain in here Saturday evening. 4 days later, that hasn't changed, so there has been some serious consistency with this.
In the same vain, the Euro was dry all weekend.
As of the 12Z run, it looks like it's finally coming around to the GFS, however just not as early.
It's leaning more toward after midnight arrival.
The NBM refuses to take a stand one way or the other, so we're gonna be another day or two to work the trick-or-treating news.
The good news is forecast soundings aren't looking thundery.
Unfortunately, this isn't going to be anything near a drought buster as most, if not all of Middle TN, will register less than 1 inch.
Here's the best news: the arrival of this weekend's rains looks to be a shift in the overall pattern with more rain in the cards next week.
