Key Messages

- Afternoon RH values will drop into the 25-35% range each of the next several afternoons (mainly in southern middle Tennessee and NW Alabama), creating the need for extra caution regarding outdoor burning.

Near Term

(Rest of Today and Tonight) Issued at 942 AM CDT Sun Oct 25 2026

Another day of high pressure influence both at the surface and aloft will bring clear and calm conditions. After a night of radiational cooling, temps have climbed into the high 50s under abundant sunshine. Highs will warm to the mid 70s today for most areas with some of our terrain locations struggling to break out of the 60s.

The ridge valley split observed over the last few days will continue into the overnight hours as another high pressure induced inversion sets up. Calm winds and clear skies will support radiational cooling at the surface allowing temps to cool into the low to mid 40s. The aformentioned temperature inversion will keep temps in terrain areas a few degrees warmer closer to the mid to high 40s.

Short Term

(Monday through Wednesday) Issued at 942 AM CDT Sun Oct 25 2026

Through the short term, ridging aloft will build over the TN Valley, peaking on Tuesday. As such, temps will warm from the mid 70s on Monday to the high 70s on Tuesday. Boundary layer mixing and local inversions will continue to support ridge/valley splits in NE AL with temperature differences around 5 degrees through the early work week.

By Tuesday night a dampening mid level low will be surging NE through the Great Lakes area. This will bring some weak short waves through the area supporting an increase in cloud cover. We will be too far removed from the parent low for any increase in precip chances, yet the additional cloud cover will dissuade temps from continuing to climb, limiting highs to the mid 70s on Wednesday.

Long Term

(Tuesday night through Saturday) Issued at 1010 PM CDT Sat Oct 24 2026

The ridge will temporaily flatten on Wednesday as a dry front ripples across the Mid South/Ohio Valley, bringing some cloud cover to the area. However, given the very limited moisture, no precipitation is forecast and some limited heating will still push highs into the 70s. No air mass modification will occur behind the front (save for a reinforcing shot of drier air). In fact, a gradual warming trend will take place late next week as an upper ridge axis centered over the northern Gulf amplifies northward into the Tennessee Valley and winds veer to the SE/SSE. Highs will climb into the upper 70s on Thursday and the lower 80s in most locations Friday and Saturday to close out the month.
