Discussion
A tropical system over the western Gulf of Mexico will push northward over the next couple of days and combine with an eastward moving cold front to generate significant rainfall from the northern Gulf to the Ohio Valley. Widespread rainfall is also likely here from later today into later tomorrow and it can be heavy at times in the Tennessee Valley. In addition to the rain, winds will become a noticeable factor; especially, in some of the higher elevation terrain regions later tonight and on Saturday. Given the copious amount of clouds expected today and the rainfall, it’ll turn out to be cooler than yesterday with highs confined to the 60’s. Later tomorrow night, a strong cold front will cross the region and this should pave the way for improving conditions on Sunday.
