A colder-than-normal air mass has dropped into the western US and will spread across the central US by the middle of the week. A strong cold front at the leading edge of this air mass will trek across the nation over the next few days and arrive in the Tennessee Valley later in the week with some heavy rainfall and possible strong-to-severe thunderstorms. Following the passage of the front, much cooler air will push into the region for the end of the week and upcoming weekend.

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.

A tropical system continues to slowly intensify over the Gulf of Mexico and has now reached named (Nestor) tropical storm status. This system is moving to the northeast and will approach the northern Gulf coast later today and tonight and then move inland across the southeast US this weekend. By late Sunday, this tropical storm will likely move offshore somewhere near the Outer Banks of North Carolina and it could generate some rainfall on its NW side in the Mid-Atlantic region late Saturday night/Sunday morning. Looking in the extended time period, some impressive cold air outbreaks are likely to impact the central and eastern US during the last week of October and the first week of November – perhaps leading to quite a chilly Halloween for lots of people across the eastern half of the nation.
