.SHORT TERM... 208 PM CDT

Through Tuesday...

No significant weather is expected through the period. Temperatures both this afternoon and on Tuesday will remain seasonal, with highs mainly in the 70s. While the area will remain precipitation free, expect high clouds to continue to stream over the region as the remnants of Irma shifts north-northwestward across Georgia.

.LONG TERM... 148 PM CDT

Tuesday night through Monday...

Stretch of fall like weather will through midweek with a warming trend expected late in the week into the weekend. Rain still appears possible Wednesday as the remnants of Hurricane Irma approach the region, and additional precip chances arrive over the weekend.

Tuesday night into Wednesday, no significant changes to the forecast as the remnants of the hurricane are still expected to lift across the Tennessee Valley Tuesday and retrograde across the mid Mississippi Valley Tuesday night into Wednesday, filling as it does so. Guidance continues to indicate upper level wave will lift into portions of the Midwest late Tuesday into Wednesday transporting a corridor of high PWat air, initially 1.75-2.00 inches, but diminishing as it continues north. Poor mid level lapse rates will not result in any appreciable instability so mainly expect a few waves of rain showers to lift across the area throughout the day with a negligible thunder threat.

Thursday through the weekend, upper low will become absorbed in the westerly flow aloft and exit the region allowing upper ridging to build back over the local area. This will result in a few additional days of dry weather along with a warming trend with temperatures pushing to slightly above normal Friday through the weekend. Expect afternoon highs to be back around or into the 80s for most of the CWA. Models have been advertising, with still some modest timing differences, a cold front pushing across the region at some point Sunday into Monday which could produce showers and thunderstorms.

.AVIATION... For the 00Z TAFs...

High pressure over the area tonight will weaken and inch northward on Tuesday, with the remnants of Hurricane Irma helping to gradually tighten the pressure gradient. As such the east- northeast winds on Tuesday afternoon will be slightly stronger, with sporadic afternoon gusts of 15-17 kt possible.

.MARINE... 148 PM CDT

High pressure is centered over the eastern Great Lakes this afternoon and is expected to shift to the New England coast by Tuesday, but ridging will continue to spread west across the Great Lakes through midweek. A weak cold front is moving across Ontario today which is resulting in a modest uptick in south to southwest flow into the 15 to 20 kt range across the north half of the lake today and early tonight. Through the remainder of the week,  high pressure will dominate the region resulting in lighter flow and rather benign weather.
