Cooler temperatures this weekend. Overnight lows in the upper twenties and low thirties are expected Saturday and Sunday nights. Mostly dry conditions for the next several days with only low rain chances late next week. While recent rains will put a pause on worsening drought conditions, severe to extreme drought continues across much of Middle Tennessee. Lower clouds streaming in from the north! The reinforcing cold front exits into East Tennessee! Colder and drier air settles into my lungs! Take your precautions before tonight! Make sure you get them done before the freeze takes hold! Surface high pressure hanging in the river valley! Clear morning skies fading into afternoon shade! Lows crashing down to thirty-one in the dead of night! Upper twenties bleeding out on the ground! A complex pattern aloft evolves in the west! An upper troff carrying the weight in my chest! Before another cold push breaks us down on our knees, We will reach 70 degrees! We will reach 70 degrees! Saturday autumn cool in the low fifties! No rain expected as the pressure hangs clear! Partly cloudy conditions creeping late in the day! Lows into Sunday morning crash in deep despair! Model agreement is broken and thin! We might get rain where the drought has been! A temporary pause on the worsening earth! Severe to extreme drought for all that it's worth! A second cold push at the end of the week! Freezing morning lows for the cold and the weak! A complex pattern aloft evolves in the west! An upper troff carrying the weight in my chest! Before another cold push breaks us down on our knees, We will reach 70 degrees! We will reach 70 degrees! Upper troff in the south! Warming to the peak before the mercury drops! From the seventies down to freezing again! We will reach 70 degrees! Reach 70 degrees!

SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Saturday) Issued at 1044 AM CST Fri Nov 6 2026
Lower clouds are streaming in from the north on satellite this morning, as the reinforcing cold front that entered the mid-state begins to exit into east Tennessee.
Highs today will be in the 60s as that colder and drier air mass settles in, with frosty and freezing conditions expected tonight.
Lows will be in the 30s across the area, for the first time this season for many areas.
Saying this because if you have any precautions you need to take, make sure you get them done before tonight.
Saturday will be another cooler autumn day, with lows in the 50s.
Skies will initially be clear in the morning, as surface high pressure continues to hang out in the Ohio River Valley.
We will see some partly cloudy conditions creep in in the afternoon and evening, but no rain expected.
Lows into Sunday morning will crash into the low 30s, with some areas in the upper 20s being possible.
LONG TERM
(Saturday Night through next Friday) Issued at 1044 AM CST Fri Nov 6 2026
A complicated pattern aloft will evolve into next work week, as an UL trough forms in the SW and treks across the south into mid-week.
It is a complex pattern with not a lot of model agreement currently, but we could get some rain out of it. We will see some warming into the upper 60s to low 70s for highs before this occurs, with lows remaining cold in the 30s and 40s.
Models suggest another cold push into the end of the week next week, continuing the fall temperatures and dropping them back into the 50s and 60s for highs with freezing morning lows.
