...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 205 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024

Surface high in place across the deep south this morning. Ridging 
extends ne across eastern TN. Skies are clear with light winds. 
Temperatures have dropped and range from the upper 30s south to 
lower 40s north. Spreads are rather low so we could pick up on 
some patchy frost especially across our south come sunrise. Will 
need to add some patchy frost across our south with the upcoming 
grids/zones issuance. 

Today, look for that surface high to move eastward with the upper 
level trough pulling eastward as well. This will equate to a 
substantial warmup and those winds will swing around to the ssw.

The upper pattern will quickly morph toward a zonal regime with a 
west to east frontal boundary camping out a good distance to our 
north. A strong upper system will begin to dig across the western 
U.S. by Sunday. This will prompt some upper ridging across our area 
with temps getting warmer. At any rate that boundary should remain 
locked up to our north. 

For the near term temps, a definitive warming trend is upcoming. 
We'll get into the 70s the next 2 days. Then, we could see close to 
80 degrees for Sunday. By that time, low temps will climb back into 
the 50s.
