ISSUED AT 1024 AM CDT TUE JUN 2 2026
FOG HAS IMPROVED THIS MORNING THUS THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY WAS
ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. AFTER 13 DAYS STRAIGHT OF RAINFALL MEASURED AT
HUNTSVILLE AIRPORT, WE WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT WE WILL BREAK
THAT STREAK TODAY.
A RIDGE IS BUILDING UP FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE
MIDWEST AND WILL NUDGE THE TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST A LITTLE
BIT MORE. COMBINED WITH THE FRONT THAT PUSHED THROUGH THIS
MORNING, DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY FILTER INTO THE TN VALLEY TODAY.
THIS WILL PROVIDE A DRY FORECAST, AND MORE SUNSHINE SO BE SURE TO
BRING THOSE SUNGLASSES WITH YOU TODAY. NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL
GUST 10-15KTS AND HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 80S.
TONIGHT, WE WILL HAVE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES BUT OUR
NORTHEASTERLY/EASTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED. COMBINED WITH
THE DRIER AIR IN PLACE, THIS WILL HELP PREVENT FOG DEVELOPMENT.
HOWEVER, IF SHELTERED LOCATIONS CAN GET THE WINDS TO CALM DOWN,
THEY COULD HAVE SOME PATCHY FOG DEVELOP. LOWS WILL BE IN THE UPPER
50S TO LOWER 60S.
SHORT TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1024 AM CDT TUE JUN 2 2026
BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY!
THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES
ON WEDNESDAY. THE EAST COAST TROUGH WILL BE SLOW TO PUSH OFF THE
COAST, SLOWING DOWN THE PROGRESSION OF THE RIDGE ON THURSDAY. AT
THE SAME TIME, A SHORTWAVE WILL DAMPEN THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE
RIDGE AND PUSH IT TO CENTER MORE OVER THE TN VALLEY THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY. HIGHS WEDNESDAY TO FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER 80S BUT
WITH MUCH LOWER DEWPOINTS! LOWS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE UPPER 50S.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1000 PM CDT MON JUN 1 2026
HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE AND RELATIVELY DRY
AIR IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AS UPPER RIDGING
INCHES TO THE EAST, RESULTING IN A STREAM OF GULF MOISTURE ACROSS
THE ARKLATEX REGION AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ON THE MILD SIDE WITH HIGHS IN THE
LOW TO MID 80S AND LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE GETS CLOSER OVER THE WEEKEND, WE WILL SEE AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS AS WELL AS LOW CHANCES FOR RAIN AND STORMS
OVER NW AL SATURDAY. THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN BECOMES A BIT MORE
COMPLICATED TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE IS
SUPPRESSED TO OUR EAST WHILE AN UPPER LOW DIGS ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST. A SHORTWAVE WILL WORK TO SHIFT THE HIGHER MOISTURE AXIS
INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN US, BUT IT IS A BIT UNCLEAR AT THIS RANGE
WHEN AND WHERE THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE. FOR NOW WE WILL STICK WITH BLENDED GUIDANCE WITH LOW TO MEDIUM
RAIN/STORM CHANCES SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 646 AM CDT TUE JUN 2 2026
DENSE FOG CONTINUED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA, WITH VISIBILITIES
REDUCED TO AS LOW AS 1/8SM (AT KHSV), WITH 1/4SM TO 4SM ELSEWHERE.
SOME LOCATIONS WITH HIGHER VSBY HAD VERY LOW CIGS, SOME AT 200FT
AGL OR LOWER. AS HIGHER ALTITUDE CLOUDS MOVE SOUTHWARD, BETTER
EXPOSURE TO THE SUN AND SUBSEQUENT MIXING WILL HELP DISSIPATE THE
FOG. SO WILL THE MOVEMENT OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MORE TO THE SOUTH,
AND DRIER AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE NORTH. VFR WEATHER SHOULD
RETURN FROM THE MID/LATE MORNING ONWARD. LIGHT WINDS EARLY WILL
BECOME NE AT 5-15KT WITH SOME GUSTS NEAR 20KT THIS AFTERNOON.
WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY WEST OF I-65.
DRIER AIR IN PLACE DESPITE COOLER TEMPERATURES SHOULD HELP KEEP
FOG FORMATION MORE LIMITED LATER TONIGHT.
