A ridge is building into the Central and eastern U.S. today. At the surface, high pressure is over the East Coast bringing southerly low level flow to the region. Temperatures will be much warmer this week with highs mainly in the 50s but Tuesday will be the warmest day with highs in the 60s in the northern and central TN Valley and highs in the lower 70s in the southern Valley. Dry weather will be in place until the next system approaches Tuesday night and Wednesday as a low near the Great Lakes brings a cold front through the region. All rain is expected with this system and instability will be too low for thunder.
