.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Friday)
Issued at 1157 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024

Surface high pressure is starting to slide over Middle TN from the
west. This will bring us a stretch of quiet weather into the
weekend. Mostly sunny today with highs in the upper 50s to lower
60s. With high pressure overhead tonight we will see clear skies
and overall light winds, this will bring good radiational cooling
and we should see lows fall into the mid to upper 30s east of I-65
with lower 40s west. The NBM gives areas east of I-65 a 40-60%
chance of lows 36 or cooler tonight which is a good threshold for
frost. With temperatures near or just above that mark frost is 
looking to remain patchy. We will be looking at great weather on 
Friday as high pressure slowly slides east. This will bring 
southerly flow and the start of a warm up, highs will make it into
the upper 60s to lower 70s.
