KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 709 PM EDT Sun Sep 13 2026 - Dry for most of the area through the week with above normal temperatures continuing.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 116 PM EDT Sun Sep 13 2026
Quieter weather expected this afternoon and evening with clouds still slowly clearing out. This cloud deck has helped keep temperatures in check today with many locations still sitting in the low 80's as of this writing. Those locations in the southern Valley that have cleared out are really ramping up in temperature however... Clouds will eventually clear out, and unfortunately everyone will get another warm day today like most days the past month.
A shortwave will move through to our north tomorrow, followed by a surface cold front. CAMs generally have no PoPs associated with this dry front with the better forcing remaining off to our north. Can't completely rule out a few isolated showers, but it looks increasingly unlikely. Front eventually moves through, but it's more of a front in name, rather than impact as we should get yet another very warm day across the eastern Tennessee Valley.
The dog days of summer are back in full effect Tuesday through the end of the week with highs in the 90's for most of the Valley locations... and Heat Index values eclipsing the triple digit mark for most people along I-40 and south. We could see multiple days of Heat Advisories needed on Tuesday and beyond. Dew point values are forecasted to drop a couple of degrees by the second half of the week, so we might "technically" not hit Heat Advisory criteria... but we'll almost certainly be within a few degrees of it. Any way you slice it this upcoming week is shaping up to be hot and mostly dry again.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS) Issued at 709 PM EDT Sun Sep 13 2026
A cold front pushing south across KY will be near TRI later tonight, and may bring some low VFR to MVFR ceilings. Cloud base is uncertain at this time so will have predominant VFR with a TEMPO for MVFR. Otherwise, no aviation impacts are expected through tomorrow afternoon.
