...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 855 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

As of this current hour, skies are mostly cloudy across Middle
Tennessee. Temperatures have dropped into the 50s for many
locations, and some noticeably drier air is also beginning to show
itself across northwestern portions of the forecast area. This
drier air is expected to continue sliding southeast through the
overnight hours. The 00z sounding indicated quite a bit of dry air
aloft, around the 500 mb level. Aloft, a weak disturbance is
moving across Arkansas and Louisiana, leading to the development
of a few showers in northern and eastern Arkansas. 

Overall, feel like the night should be quiet for most of us. Can't
completely rule out a few showers, and some of the convective
allowing models are showing this panning out. However, there is
concern about the amount of dry air aloft, as well as the much
drier air moving into the region at the surface. Any showers that
are able to move into the area will be quite light, producing only
a few hundredths of an inch. Would not be surprised if we 
remained mostly precipitation free either. Either way, it won't 
amount to much. Cooler temperatures are forecast tomorrow with 
clouds and north winds persisting. Another weather disturbance 
moves through tomorrow night, bring another chance for some 
showers, primarily south of Interstate 40 and really limited to 
along the Alabama border. Once again, precipitation amounts will 
be low and no thunder is anticipated.
