...WEATHER PATTERNS WILL CHANGE NEXT WEEK AND BRING INCREASED
STORMINESS TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

FOR WEEKS NOW...MIDDLE TENNESSEE WEATHER HAS BEEN STRONGLY
AFFECTED BY THE NORTHERN JET STREAM...CHARACTERIZED BY REPEATED
EPISODES OF COLD AIR. IN ADDITION...ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE HAS BEEN
VERY LIMITED...AND MEASURABLE SNOWFALL HAS BEEN CONFINED MAINLY TO THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU.

THE SOUTHERN JET STREAM...WHICH TYPICALLY SPREADS INCREASED ATMOSPHERIC
MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO UP ACROSS OUR AREA...HAS BEEN
ABSENT FROM OUR WEATHER PICTURE FOR A NUMBER OF WEEKS. HOWEVER...
THAT IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE NEXT WEEK...AS SEVERAL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE GULF COASTAL REGION AND
SPREAD PRECIPITATION UP ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE. AT THE SAME
TIME...THE NORTHERN JET STREAM WILL CONTINUE TO SEND COLD AIR
SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA. THIS COMBINATION...OF COLD AIR FROM THE
NORTH AND INCREASED ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH...WILL
MAKE FOR AN INTERESTING WEATHER PATTERN NEXT WEEK.

THE FIRST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NEXT WEEK IS FORECAST TO SWING FROM
TEXAS TO PENNSYLVANIA AND WILL LIKELY BRING ALONG SOME HEAVY
RAINFALL NEXT TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE MAY BE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS RUMBLING THROUGH AS WELL. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
SOME MUCH COLDER AIR ON WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH A CHANCE FOR LIGHT
SNOW. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL FROM THE 50S AND 60S TUESDAY...INTO
THE 30S ON WEDNESDAY.

DRY AND COLD WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR NEXT THURSDAY.

HOWEVER...A SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP
OVER THE GULF COASTAL REGION LATE NEXT WEEK...ON FRIDAY OR
SATURDAY. SINCE CHILLY AIR WILL ALREADY BE IN PLACE OVER MIDDLE
TENNESSEE...IT IS POSSIBLE WE COULD BE LOOKING AT SOME WINTRY
PRECIPITATION AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

SPECIFIC DETAILS OF THE WEATHER NEXT WEEK...REGARDING THE TIMING
AND INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION...AS WELL AS THE TYPE OF
PRECIPITATION...WILL BECOME MORE CLEAR AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE
ACTUAL EVENTS. HOWEVER...SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT MIDDLE TENNESSEE
WEATHER WILL UNDERGO SOME FREQUENT CHANGES NEXT WEEK... AND IT
WILL BE A TIME WHEN YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR LOCAL
FORECAST IN ORDER TO KNOW WHAT CHANGES TO EXPECT...AND WHAT TYPE
PRECIPITATION MAY BE COMING DOWN THE PIKE.
