Happy Sunday, everybody. Sure hope you have a great day today.
The cold front we’ve been talking about for the last couple of days is finally moving its way on out, and behind it we’re getting exactly what we’ve been waiting for — clearing skies, more sunshine, and a fresh push of cooler, drier air.
As that ridge of cool high pressure settles in, it’s going to nudge our temperatures downward and really clean up the atmosphere. Dew points started the morning in the mid-50s, but they’ll drop into the 30s this afternoon. That means crisp, dry air and bright blue skies… one of those classic early-November days that just feels good when you step outside.
We began the morning in the 60s, and we should make it into the mid to upper 60s for official highs. But don’t be surprised when temperatures begin to slide later today. Anytime after about noon to 3 PM, we’ll start to feel that cooler air filtering in. Still, it’s a solidly warm, comfortable day before that shift happens.
Rain chances stay generally low over the next 24–36 hours, but they do return in pieces. Monday night into Tuesday brings a light, quick-moving disturbance — mainly for the Tennessee/Kentucky border region and the northern plateau. It’s not a big rainmaker, and most of us stay dry. Then we hit a lull midweek before our next meaningful system moves in toward the end of the week.
That late-week setup looks more impressive. Several weather models are suggesting a better opportunity for widespread rain, anywhere from a half-inch to over an inch as a larger system moves through Friday into Saturday. This is the time of year when precipitation gradually increases on average, and the pattern ahead fits that seasonal shift.
Temperature-wise, today stays mild at 68. Monday cools down behind the front with a high near 58 — right on average for this time of year. That quick cool spell only lasts a day or so. After that, we bounce right back into a warm stretch with highs returning to the mid to upper 60s and low 70s through midweek and beyond.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on those Friday rain chances, especially for high school football. As of now, it’s looking like a rainy evening, but check back in as the timing gets more precise.
