Monday Morning Forecast Thoughts


This morning we've got lots of sunshine across the GTR area with temperatures in the upper 70s, but we're warming up fast! We'll see low and mid 90s this afternoon. But we are watching the radar this morning...
The radar is showing a few showers to our north across parts of Middle Tennessee into the northwestern parts of Alabama. These showers are moving slowly southeastward, and they may clip parts of the GTR area later this afternoon but I do think a lot of us will stay dry. 
It looks like some surface high pressure will build back in from the east by the middle of the week. I think this will suppress rain chances completely, and we'll see dry conditions for Wednesday and Thursday with highs remaining ranging from 90 to 93. 
The GFS continues to paint a weak frontal system affecting our area late Thursday into Friday. I think moisture will be limited, though certainly non-zero and therefore a few showers or storms are possible during this timeframe.

High pressure looks to quickly settle in behind this frontal passage, but it also looks like it will be short lived. We'll likely see an easterly to east-southeasterly flow prevail for the end of the weekend into next week, and this will keep temperatures a little below normal but also keep some rain chances in the forecast as well.
