Discussion

Upper-level ridging and surface high pressure will build over the region later this week and it’ll help to promote a warm-up that can result in temperatures well up in the 50’s by week’s end. Changes will begin to take place this weekend, however, as a strong upper-level trough forms over the central states. As such, colder air will make a return to the Tennessee Valley region and we’ll likely be confined to the 20’s for highs by early next week as Arctic air overspreads much of the nation.
