ISSUED AT 940 PM CDT TUE JUN 2 2026
ASIDE FROM A FEW PASSING HIGH CLOUDS, A CLEAR NIGHT IS IN STORE
FOR THE TN VALLEY AS HIGH PRESSURE HAS BECOME THE DOMINANT
INFLUENCE AND HAS RESULTED IN A DRIER AND MILD AIRMASS. BECAUSE OF
THE DRIER AIR IN PLACE, THE CHANCES FOR PATCHY FOG TONIGHT WILL BE
MUCH LOWER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHTS, THUS WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY
WIDESPREAD FOG ISSUES THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. OVERNIGHT LOWS
WILL FALL TO THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S WITH LIGHT WINDS GRADUALLY
VEERING TO THE EAST.
DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE AND AND BELOW NORMAL HIGHS, WITH TEMPS TOPPING OUT NEAR
80S DEGREES IN THE AFTERNOON. WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY GUST TO NEAR
15MPH AS THEY CONTINUE TO VEER TO THE SOUTHEAST.
SHORT TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 940 PM CDT TUE JUN 2 2026
DRY CONTINENTAL AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BE USHERED IN BY EASTERLY
WINDS AS HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS DEEPER INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN US.
THIS AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY AS ONLY
SMALL SHIFTS IN THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN ARE EXPECTED BY THE
END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP HIGHS A LITTLE BELOW SEASONAL
NORMS, TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S EACH AFTERNOON.
WITH LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE AND LIMITED MOISTURE, WE SHOULD SEE
ABUNDANT SUNSHINE THROUGH MOST OF THE WEEK WITH A SLIGHT INCREASE
IN CLOUDS ON FRIDAY AS AN UPPER WAVE MOVES OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AND SOUTHERLY GULF FLOW INCREASES INTO THE ARKLAMISS.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL FALL TO THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S EACH NIGHT WITH
NO FOG EXPECTED.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 940 PM CDT TUE JUN 2 2026
AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, THE DRY PATTERN CONTINUES AS UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING PERSISTS AND OUR LOCAL WEATHER IS DOMINATED BY HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE APPALACHIANS. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER
50S TO LOWER 60S. ON SATURDAY, A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS COMBINED WITH
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL WARM AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW TO
MID 80S. THE AFORMENTIONED HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS A BIT MORE TO THE
EAST ON SUNDAY. THIS VEERS THE SFC FLOW TO MORE SOUTHWESTERLY,
ADVECTING IN BETTER MOISTURE OFF THE GULF. A NOTICEABLE CHANGE IS
THAT WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE A RISE IN DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE UPPER
60S. AS A RESULT, LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCES (40-50%) FOR DIURNALLY
DRIVEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST SUNDAY. BASED ON
CURRENT TRENDS, WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THESE PRECIP CHANCES
GRADUALLY DECREASE FOR SUNDAY AS THE DRIER AIRMASS IS SLOW TO LEAVE.
HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK THE TENNESSEE VALLEY GETS SQUEEZED INBETWEEN
TWO SYSTEMS. THE FIRST DROPPING DOWN ALONG THE EAST COAST AND THE
SECOND NEAR THE BASE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER TEXAS. WITH A VERY
MOISTURE RICH AIRMASS IN PLACE, EXPECT LOW TO MEDIUM CHANCES (30-50%)
ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND STORMS.
TEMPERATURES INTO NEXT WEEK WILL BE NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS
IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.
