Gorgeous Fall Day

Local Forecast
Short Term
Today is going to be a gorgeous start to the week. Fall has finally arrived in Middle Tennessee. Highs across the basin today will top out in the low to mid 70's. Tonight will be a little chilly as overnight lows drop down into the mid to upper 40's. Dry weather will be the sky conditions all day long. Enjoy the beautiful weather! Tuesday will be an exact copy of today. Some folks on the Cumberland Plateau may not even get out of the 60's on Tuesday.
Long Term
Dry and cool weather remains in the forecast until late in the week when a slight chance of rain will push back into the Middle Tennessee area. Throughout the week, highs will remain in the mid 70's with lows dipping down into the 40's and 50's.


Extended (Voo Doo)
Nothing of special interest today. No major shots of cold weather in the extended or major warm ups. Things look to stay pretty normal in the extended for now, but thats sure to change.

National Weather Focus
Great Lakes, Fall Storm System
A strong fall storm will be impacting our area later tonight as an upper level disturbance and associated low pressure center will be diving down from Canada into the northern Great Lakes tonight and tomorrow.  The low pressure system is anticipated to deepen to around 980 mb by the time it reaches the Great Lakes.  As it deepens, a cold front will be moving through Wisconsin later this afternoon and evening.  A squall line of potentially strong to severe thunderstorms in association with the front is expected to be moving out over the open waters of Lake Michigan after 8pm tonight and continue progressing through Southwest Lower Michigan into the late night and overnight hours. -Courtesy of Grand Rapids NWS
