NEAR TERM
(REST OF TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 931 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
WINDS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO SLACK THIS EVENING AND WE WILL BE
LEFT WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS OVERNIGHT. HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
ARE FILTERING INTO THE TN VALLEY AND LOWS WILL BE SEASONABLE IN
THE MID TO UPPER 40S.
ON WEDNESDAY, THE CENTER OF THE SFC HIGH WILL SLIDE INTO THE NEW
ENGLAND AND MID ATLANTIC REGION. THIS WILL SHIFT OUR WINDS TO
BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY WITH GUSTS UP TO 15 KTS. HIGHS WILL WARM UP
TO SEASONABLE VALUES IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.
SHORT TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 931 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
A SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THEN EXITING THE GREAT LAKES WILL RUN
INTO HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND AND MID-ATLANTIC
COAST, SQUEEZING IT FURTHER INTO THE SOUTHEAST REGION. THIS WILL
KEEP US DRY, AND SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL PROVIDE A WARM UP THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK. LOOK FOR HIGHS TO REACH THE LOW TO MID 70S ON
THURSDAY AND A FEW PLACES COULD REACH 80 DEGREES ON FRIDAY.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 931 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
THE MAJORITY OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE MARKED BY ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT. THIS WILL SUPPORT LARGELY BENIGN WEATHER WITH WINDS AND
TEMPERATURES BEING DRIVEN BY SURFACE FEATURES. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BE STATIONED OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST FOR MOST OF THE LONG TERM
FORECAST. LOCALLY WITH WILL INDUCE SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW AND ALLOW
FOR GRADUAL TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE ADVECTION. TEMPS WILL RISE FROM
THE HIGH 70S ON FRIDAY TO THE MID 80S BY TUESDAY. DEW POINTS WILL
SIMILARLY REBOUND STAYING IN THE 50S FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. ON A
CONUS SCALE, A TROUGH WILL DEEPEN THROUGH THE WEEKEND IN THE WESTERN
CONUS WITH AN ASSOCIATED FRONT SLOWLY DRAGGING THROUGH THE PLAINS BY
THE START OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK. THE FRONT LOOKS TO NEAR THE TN
VALLEY ON TUESDAY WITH CLOUD COVER INCREASING ON MONDAY AHEAD OF IT.
LONG RANGE MODELS SHOW THE FRONT SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENING BY THE TIME
IS REACHES US, WITH MODELS DIVERGING ON IF THE FRONT COULD SUPPORT
ANY APPRECIABLE PRECIPITATION. HAVE CURRENTLY KEPT BLENDED GUIDANCE
SUPPORTING <40% RAIN CHANCES TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF MODELS BEGAN TO TREND DRIER AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD.
