Discussion
As strong upper-level troughing reaches the middle of the country on Friday, it’ll help to intensify surface low pressure and draw moist air from the Gulf into the Tennessee Valley. As a result, the chance of shower and thunderstorm activity will increase here tonight and some of the storms that form can reach strong-to-severe levels. A frontal system will clear the area on Saturday, but it’ll remain quite windy and there can be some residual shower activity early. Nice weather is likely for Sunday and Monday with plenty of sunshine each day and high temperatures in the 70’s.
