- NO IMPACTFUL WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS.
NEAR TERM
(REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1008 AM CDT MON APR 6 2026
OVERALL, SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP RAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST
TODAY. A SURFACE BOUNDARY LOOKS TO MOVE INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
THIS EVENING, BUT WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY STALL OVER CENTRAL
TENNESSEE. THIS FEATURE MAY START TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ONCE AGAIN
LATER TONIGHT; HOWEVER, THERE IS LITTLE (IF ANY) MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DECAYING SURFACE BOUNDARY. THUS, NO IMPACTFUL
WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT.
WITH CAA FROM UPPER LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW, EVEN WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES TODAY, HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO ONLY REACH THE UPPER 60S TO
AROUND 70 DEGREES. IT'LL ALSO BE FAIRLY COOL LATER TONIGHT AS LOWS
DIP INTO THE LOWER TO MID 40S! THEREFORE, IT MAY NOT BE A BAD
IDEA TO KEEP AT LEAST A LIGHT JACKET HANDY TODAY AND TONIGHT.
OTHERWISE, ENJOY YOUR MONDAY!
SHORT TERM
(TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1008 AM CDT MON APR 6 2026
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL GIVE WAY TO BRIEF UPPER RIDGING TUESDAY
EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, A
SHORTWAVE LOOKS TO TRAVERSE THE ARKLATEX REGION HEADED TOWARDS THE
SOUTHEAST (DISCUSSED MORE BELOW). SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS WILL ALSO GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH MIDWEEK
AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STRENGTHENS AND PUSHES OVER THE NORTH-
CENTRAL CONUS. ULTIMATELY, NO RAIN IS FORECAST FOR NORTH ALABAMA
AND SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, BUT WE
MAY SEE SOME MIDLEVEL CLOUDS DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. BREEZY
SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED AS WELL. AS FOR TEMPERATURES,
EXPECT AN EVER SO SLIGHT WARM UP THROUGH MIDWEEK. HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ARE EXPECTED, WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER
40S TUESDAY NIGHT.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 854 PM CDT SUN APR 5 2026
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS AT A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER, WITH STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE LOCATED ALONG THE EAST COAST, DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD WIN
OUT KEEPING A RAIN FREE FORECAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, WHICH WILL
BRING A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. EXPECT AFTERNOON HIGHS THURSDAY IN
THE MID 70S, ON FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 70S, AND THEN THE LOWER 80S
THIS WEEKEND. AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
CONTINUES TO BUILD, THERE APPEARS NO RELIEF IN SITE TO THE
RELATIVELY DRY START TO SPRING.
