NEAR TERM
(REST OF TONIGHT AND FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1047 PM CDT THU JUL 3 2025
ANOTHER TRANQUIL NIGHT UNDERWAY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AS
CLEAR SKIES PREVAIL WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL CONTINUE TO ENFORCE A RELATIVELY DRIER AIRMASS THROUGH FRIDAY
ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL BE ON THE RISE AS H85 HEIGHTS BEGIN TO
GRADUALLY INCREASE. CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL REACH THE LOW TO MID 90S AND HEAT
INDICES COULD MEET OR EXCEED 100 DEGREES IN SOME LOCATIONS LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON. PLEASE PRACTICE HEAT SAFETY THROUGHOUT THE DAY IF
SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS, INCLUDING STAYING HYDRATED AND WEARING
SUNSCREEN. THOSE ESPECIALLY SENSITIVE TO THE HEAT SHOULD TAKE
FREQUENT BREAKS IN COOLED OR SHADED AREAS TO AVOID HEAT RELATED
ILLNESS.
SHORT TERM
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 1047 PM CDT THU JUL 3 2025
WE WILL MAINTAIN A DRY BUT HOT FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE AS THERE IS LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN. HIGHS WILL REACH THE LOW TO MID 90S EACH
DAY AND THE BIGGEST IMPACT WILL BE AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES NEAR OR
JUST ABOVE 100 DEGREES. WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S,
THIS WILL PROVIDE VERY LITTLE RELIEF FROM THE HEAT DURING THE DAY.
WHILE IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL BE MET AT
THIS POINT, THAT COULD CHANGE. ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND BUT
CONTINUE TO PRACTICE HEAT SAFETY BY NEVER LEAVING PEOPLE OR PETS
IN VEHICLES, DRINK WATER AND SEEK SHADE.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1047 PM CDT THU JUL 3 2025
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN JUST OF THE ATLANTIC COAST
AND BEGIN BUILDING MORE OVER THE GULF TO BEGIN THE WORK WEEK.
THIS WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN INCREASING CHANCES FOR DIURNALLY
DRIVEN SHOWERS AND STORMS BEGINNING MONDAY. A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MAY BEGIN TO APPROACH THE AREA AS EARLY AS TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY, WITH POPS INCREASING TO 40-60% MAINLY FOCUSED DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CHANCES WILL INCREASE CLOSER TO
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ON THURSDAY WHEN IT APPEARS THE FRONT WILL
PUSH THROUGH THE TN VALLEY. ALTHOUGH NOT CURRENTLY OUTLOOKED FOR
SEVERE WEATHER, SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG ESPECIALLY
TOWARD THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK. HEAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
THREAT AS AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES REMAIN BETWEEN 100 AND 105 EACH
DAY.
