Discussion
An active weather pattern is unfolding for the Tennessee Valley with numerous short waves in coming days that will rotate through an upper-level trough of low pressure. As a result, there will be a daily shot at showers and thunderstorms and any storm can result in some heavy rainfall given high available moisture. In addition, a big change will be to the temperature pattern as beginning today, highs should be confined to the 80’s for the next few days as compared with the recent experience with the persistent 90’s throughout the region. Elsewhere, a tropical system continues on a track that should take it towards the northern Caribbean island chain and then perhaps to the Bahamas by the end of the week. This system could ultimately have an impact on the southeastern US during the early part of next week.
