A surface cold front is finally moving into the Tennessee Valley
this afternoon, with a bulk of the shower and thunderstorm
activity now displaced to our south and east. Some intermittent
stratiform rainfall will likely persist through the remainder of
the afternoon, before dissipating by the early evening hours.
High pressure will build in this evening and overnight, allowing
cloud cover to gradually diminish this evening and especially
after Midnight. This will allow for some radiational cooling,
especially with a cooler, drier air mass filters into the area. As
a result, lows will be able to drop into the mid to upper 50s in
most locations by early Sunday morning. Due to the moist boundary
layer conditions from recent rainfall some patchy fog will also
be possible during the predawn hours.

High pressure will build into the region from the north and west
in wake of the front, with a notable autumn-like air mass change
for early this week. In short, it`s going to be a wonderful taste
of early autumn, with lower afternoon relative humidities in a
slightly cooler and drier air mass. With ample sunshine,
temperatures will climb into the low to mid 80s Sunday and Monday
and the mid to upper 80s on Tuesday -- with overnight lows
dropping into the upper 50s to lower 60s with good radiational
cooling at night.

VFR conditions will be the predominant flight category at each
terminal throughout the period. However, have included a TEMPO for
MVFR to IFR conditions due to low stratus and light precipitation
lingering through 21-22z. Thereafter, light rainfall will come to
an end and a return to VFR conditions will occur through the
period as cloud cover begins to dissipate and winds veer to the NW
and eventually the NNE overnight.
