DISCUSSION

The first of two upper level ridges that will be in control of our weather for the next seven days is passing to the east while the next ridge is building to the west. We are probably amid the driest airmass we have seen in months. The 00z Nashville RAOB recorded a column precipitable water of just 0.47 inches.

Through the week deep layer ridging builds in from the southwest. This keeps the dry airmass locked in place with gradual warming through the week. Highs work towards the mid to upper 70s. Deterministic GFS tries to flatten the ridge out early next week, but ECMWF, ensembles and GFSAI/ECMWFAI do not seem to think we break from the pattern at that point. Nevertheless an enjoyable and stable period of weather still looks likely for the predictable future.
