A COLD FRONT THAT PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE
AREA LAST NIGHT HAS PUSHED SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. BEHIND THIS, SFC HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO FILTER IN FROM
THE NORTHWEST AND DRY WEATHER CONTINUES IN ITS WAKE. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S THIS
AFTERNOON UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. TONIGHT, TEMPERATURES DROP
INTO THE MID 60S- WHICH WILL FEEL RELATIVELY COOL COMPARED TO THE
70S WE'VE BEEN RECENTLY EXPERIENCING.
SHORT TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 822 AM CDT WED JUL 2 2025
AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CONTINUES TO HOLD ITS PLACE OVER THE
SOUTH-CENTRAL U.S., THE TENNESSEE VALLEY REMAINS ASSOCIATED WITH
SFC HIGH PRESSURE AND SUBSEQUENT DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. HIGHS ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S
THROUGH THE WEEK ALONG WITH HEAT INDICES NEAR 100 DEGREES
BEGINNING FRIDAY (JULY 4TH). INCREASED HEAT CONCERNS CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND, WITH LITTLE TO NO CLOUD COVER FORECAST TO
PROVIDE ANY RELIEF. IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR PLANS, BE SURE TO USE SUN
PROTECTION AND STAY HYDRATED! RAIN CHANCES RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
MORE ON THAT IN THE LONG TERM SECTION BELOW.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 950 PM CDT TUE JUL 1 2025
THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST OVER THE
WEEKEND, AND WILL SUPPORT THE INCREASE IN MORE TROPICAL LIKE AIR
ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. THE MAIN CONCERN OVER THE WEEKEND AND
INTO NEXT WEEK WILL BE THE HEAT AS TEMPS REACH BACK INTO THE 90S
AND AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES LOOK LIKE THEY WILL MEET OR EXCEED THE
100 DEGREE MARK. FOR NOW, IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE WILL REMAIN DRY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND BUT THIS COULD CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE EXACT
PROGRESSION OF THE RIDGE. NONETHELESS, THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
INCREASE BEGINNING NEXT WEEK AS WE TRANSITION BACK TO A MORE HOT
AND HUMID AIRMASS WITH LOW CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS (10-30%) EACH
AFTERNOON. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO EVIDENCE IN
ANY ORGANIZED SYSTEM THAT WOULD BRING SEVERE WEATHER TO THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY.
