(Rest of Today)
Issued at 820 AM CST Sat Nov 23 2024

Dense fog and low clouds have developed along and near Pickwick
and Wilson Lakes, affecting the Shoals area metro. This should
dissipate over the next 1-2 hours. Lower clouds (020-025agl)
continue to straddle the eastern portions of Franklin County in TN
and Jackson and DeKalb Counties in AL. these will also tend to
dissipate or shift east this morning as a surface trough moving
southeast through north AL through the Carolinas makes progress.
High pressure over the Ozarks through the lower MS valley is
forecast to move east into TN, AL, and the FL panhandle region
today. High temperatures will reach the middle 50s for most valley
areas (lower 50s Plateau areas) with light winds.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Monday Night)
Issued at 125 AM CST Sat Nov 23 2024

Another cool night is on deck for tonight as high pressure
settles in, with calm winds and mostly clear skies. Low
temperatures are forecast to drop into the mid to upper 30s for
many areas and this, coupled with low dew point depressions, will
result in frost formation. A Frost Advisory may become necessary
once again, but we`ll reassess with the next forecast update.

As surface high pressure begins to push to the east on Sunday and
a cold front advances towards the Tennessee Valley on Monday, a
warming trend with increasing moisture will be the theme through
Monday. Highs warm into the upper 60s to lower 70s by Monday
afternoon, with lows increasing into the 40s to around 50 degrees
Sunday night. Our next chance at rain will also come late Monday
afternoon into Monday evening. Expect medium to high chances
(50-80%) of showers over the local area through Monday evening.
This system will be fairly fast-moving, as rain chances decrease
by early Tuesday morning as the system departs to the southeast.
Not anticipating a wash out by any means, as forecast total
rainfall looks to remain below a quarter of an inch area-wide.

As the cold front moves to the southeast, cooler temperatures
will be ushered into the region (especially by Tuesday). Lows
Monday night will thus be a touch cooler than Sunday night, with
temperatures in the lower to mid 40s.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 125 AM CST Sat Nov 23 2024

By Tuesday morning, we will be in the wake of a cold front as the
broad upper trough axis shifts east of the area and the upper
level flow becomes more zonal to slightly northwest. High pressure
will settle into the region Tuesday, keeping the forecast dry
with highs in the 50s and lows dropping into the low to mid 30s.
High pressure will remain dominant through the daylight hours on
Wednesday with highs reaching back near 60 degrees. Moisture will
begin to increase late Wednesday into Thursday as an upper trough
begins to swing across the eastern US, and sfc cyclogenesis
develops over the southern Plains. There is still considerable
disagreement regarding the northward extent of the sfc low and
where the Tennessee Valley will reside regarding the warm sector.
Have stuck with blended guidance for now, increasing rain and low
thunderstorm chances late Wednesday with medium (40-60%) rain
chances persisting through Friday morning. The main concern as it
stands now will be localized flooding, but will continue to
monitor trends in case a severe threat shifts north of the Gulf
Coastal region.

As the upper trough shifts east of the area early Friday, a cold
front will bring a much colder airmass to the region heading into
the weekend, and confidence is increasing that much if not all of
the area will experience sub-freezing lows Friday night into
Saturday.

The cloud deck that moved over southern middle Tennessee and
portions of northeast Alabama overnight continues to slowly erode
east and southward. Therefore, VFR conditions will prevail at both
terminals through the period. Mostly clear skies are anticipated
by this afternoon, with light winds through this evening.
