.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 129 PM EDT Sat Oct 11 2025
The pattern through much of this forecast period will feature a high
amplitude ridge in the mid/upper levels extending from TX toward the
Great Lakes, and a trough off the Atlantic coast. A surface high
over Ontario will extend southward across the OH/TN VAlley region.
This will be a dry pattern for East TN in a deep north to
northwest flow. For tonight and tomorrow, some broken high cloud
cover will spread into our eastern sections, associated with the
coastal low off the NC/SC coast. Some moisture around 850 mb may
spread over the mountaintops into NE TN and SW VA tomorrow, but
conditions will be too dry and stable above that level to sustain
any rain showers.
Temperatures through this forecast period will be seasonable and
steady, with highs each afternoon in the 70s and lows each morning
in the 40s and 50s.
Next weekend, the upper ridge may finally start to progress
east of our area as a trough drops into the Plains, which may allow
for some rain chances to arrive near the end of this forecast period.

Issued at 129 PM EDT Sat Oct 11 2025
VFR conditions are forecast at all sites this period. TYS will have
winds in the 10-15 kt range this afternoon as NE winds are channeled
down the TN Valley. Fog seems unlikely toward sunrise as some light
winds may create some weak mixing, and high clouds will be scattered
to broken at TRI.
