Currently there is an upper level low located well into Canada with a minor shortwave over southeast Tennessee. At the mid-levels there is another shortwave over Kansas and Oklahoma which has helped for rain to develop over southeast Missouri and Illinois. Associated with the shortwave at 700mb is moisture which is fueling the rain over the area. Over Cheatham, the moisture has not moved into the area but should over night into early Friday. Warm air has moved into the area this evening and we reached a high of 67 with mostly to partly cloudy skies. Currently over Cheatham at the surface there is winds out of the south with a Low centered over Illinois and Indiana with a cold front stretching from Illinois down into Oklahoma with temperatures on the back side at 48 and below. The current radar for Cheatham shows nothing, however expecting this to change overnight into the early morning with an approaching cold front.
