KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 721 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026

- Fall-like temperatures continue through the weekend followed by warmer temperatures next week.

- Dry weather is expected to continue until the latter part of next week.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 213 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026

Pleasant fall-like temperatures have been a welcome change to the heat of the previous weeks. For the next few days, we will maintain a northerly flow through the column due to the strong low pressure system off the Mid-Atlantic/New England coastline and a ridge over the Great Plains. Highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s to lower/mid 50s will continue through the weekend. The pattern will favor dry weather as well, with abundant sunshine for most of the area. Some high cloud on the fringes of the Nor'easter could reach our northern sections by Monday, with no real impact.

As the ridge to our west shifts east and flattens out, a developing southerly flow will bring warmer temperatures next week, with highs in the 80s for most of the TN Valley by Tuesday. These above normal temperatures will continue for most of next week. Late in the week, we may see some rain chances returning as a shortwave trough may move into the Plains and MS Valley region.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 721 PM EDT Fri Sep 25 2026

Dry weather can be expected under surface high pressure influence and ridging aloft moving in from the west. Winds will be light out of the N or NE through the term. Localized fog possible at TRI during the early morning hours from the lake, but confidence isn't all too high so continuing no mentioning.
