NEAR TERM
(TODAY)
ISSUED AT 449 AM CDT MON APR 6 2026
NOT MUCH CHANGE EARLY THIS MORNING WITH THIN HIGH CLOUDS
REMAINING OVER THE AREA ABOVE 20,000 FEET. WINDS REMAIN BETWEEN 5
AND 10 MPH IN MOST LOCATIONS. HOWEVER, SOME VALLEY LOCATIONS IN
NE ALABAMA HAVE GONE CALM OVER THE LAST HOUR. DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS
ARE STILL 4 TO 8 DEGREES IN MOST LOCATIONS. WITH CLOUD COVER, NO
FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AROUND DAYBREAK IN NORTHERN ALABAMA OR
IN OUR TENNESSEE COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES ARE STILL IN THE 43 TO 48
DEGREE RANGE PRIMARILY. WE COULD SEE A FEW SHELTERED VALLEY
LOCATIONS DROP TO 39 OR 40 DEGREES BEFORE SUNRISE, BUT THAT WILL
BE A BIT OF A STRETCH EVEN IN SHELTERED VALLEY LOCATIONS. MOST
AREAS WILL SEE TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 40S TO AROUND 46 DEGREES
WHEN YOU WAKE TODAY.
GUIDANCE KEEPS THIS VERY HIGH (BUT THIN) CLOUD COVER OVER
NORTHERN ALABAMA THROUGH 1 PM AT LEAST, MAYBE THROUGH THE DAY IN
FAR SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF MARSHALL AND DEKALB COUNTIES. THIS
WILL HELP TO KEEP HIGHS IN THE 65 TO 70 DEGREE RANGE PRIMARILY.
SHORT TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 854 PM CDT SUN APR 5 2026
THE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS UNCHANGED AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WORK WEEK. THE AFORMENTIONED SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE PLAINS CONTINUES TO DRIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. A DRY COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SWING THROUGH THE AREA ON
TUESDAY, BUT THE ONLY NOTICEABLE IMPACT WILL BE AN INCREASE IN
WINDS DURING THE DAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 15-20 MPH. OTHERWISE, EXPECT
AFTERNOON HIGHS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY TO REACH THE UPPER 60S
TO LOWER 70S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MOD 40S.
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.
