NO CHANGES WERE NEEDED TO THE FORECAST AS IT REMAINS ON TRACK.
CURRENT TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 70S ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA AND
SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE, WITH HIGHS STILL SLATED TO TOP OUT IN
THE LOWER TO MID 80S.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION:
OVERALL, THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT OR IMPACTFUL WEATHER FORECAST
FOR TODAY. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL PERSIST OVER THE SOUTHEAST,
ALONG WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE APPALACHIANS EXTENDING
TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. DRY WEATHER (NO RAIN) WILL
THEREFORE CONTINUE TODAY AND TONIGHT, WITH HIGH CLOUDS MOVING IN
FROM THE WEST. THIS, ALONG WITH GREATER DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS
SHOULD MITIGATE ANY FOG CONCERNS OVERNIGHT. HIGHS ARE FORECAST TO
REACH THE LOWER TO MID 80S TODAY, WITH LOWS DIPPING INTO THE UPPER
50S TO LOWER 60S LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. ENJOY
YOUR THURSDAY!
SHORT TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 940 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL LARGELY PERSIST THROUGH THE FIRST PART
OF THE WEEKEND, BUT BEGIN TO FLATTEN BY SATURDAY AS A SHORTWAVE
TRAVERSES THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY REGIONS. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN ITS HOLD OVER THE APPALACHIANS AND INTO THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY ON FRIDAY BUT BEGIN TO SHIFT TOWARDS THE EAST
COAST/ATLANTIC LATER ON SATURDAY. ULTIMATELY, THE DRY WEATHER (NO
RAIN) WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD; HOWEVER, EXPECT
MOISTURE TO START TO INCREASE ON SATURDAY AS A PATTERN CHANGE IS
ANTICIPATED LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. HIGHS ARE
FORECAST TO WARM INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S BY SATURDAY WITH LOWS
IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S FRIDAY NIGHT.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 909 PM CDT WED JUN 3 2026
AS THE RIDGE SHIFTS FURTHER TO THE EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK, DEEP
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL REALLY BEGIN TO ADVECT IN A WARM, MOIST
AIR MASS. THUS, RETURNS THE MORE TYPICAL WARM/MUGGY AIR MASS WE'VE
COME TO EXPECT IN EARLY JUNE AS EVIDENCED BY DEWPOINTS RETURNING
TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID
80S IN MOST LOCATIONS EACH DAY. DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL
DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING, RESULTING IN MEDIUM CHANCES
(40-60%) FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE
MOIST ENVIRONMENT, ALL OF THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
