- NO IMPACT WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS.
NEAR TERM
(REST OF TONIGHT AND MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 854 PM CDT SUN APR 5 2026
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL BRING
TRANQUIL CONDITIONS TONIGHT ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. WHILE
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS RELAXED COMPARED TO THIS AFTERNOON,
NORTHERLY WINDS AROUND 5 MPH ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
BRINGING IN A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS. AS A RESULT, TEMPERATURES
TONIGHT WILL DIP DOWN INTO THE LOWER 40S. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED
TO SEE SOME UPPER 30S IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NE AL AND SOUTHERN
MIDDLE TN, BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN WARM ENOUGH TO LIMIT ANY
FROST FORMATION.
A BEAUTIFUL START TO THE WORK WEEK AS THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH
PRESSURE TO OUR NORTHWEST REMAINS THE MAIN DRIVER OF OUR LOCAL
WEATHER. THEREFORE, MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES INCREASING UP INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S CAN BE
EXPECTED.
SHORT TERM
(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 854 PM CDT SUN APR 5 2026
THE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS UNCHANGED AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WORK WEEK. THE AFORMENTIONED SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE PLAINS CONTINUES TO DRIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. A DRY COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SWING THROUGH THE AREA ON
TUESDAY, BUT THE ONLY NOTICEABLE IMPACT WILL BE AN INCREASE IN
WINDS DURING THE DAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 15-20 MPH. OTHERWISE, EXPECT
AFTERNOON HIGHS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY TO REACH THE UPPER 60S
TO LOWER 70S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MOD 40S.
LONG TERM
(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 854 PM CDT SUN APR 5 2026
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS AT A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH
APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER, WITH STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE LOCATED ALONG THE EAST COAST, DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD WIN
OUT KEEPING A RAIN FREE FORECAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, WHICH WILL
BRING A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. EXPECT AFTERNOON HIGHS THURSDAY IN
THE MID 70S, ON FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 70S, AND THEN THE LOWER 80S
THIS WEEKEND. AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
CONTINUES TO BUILD, THERE APPEARS NO RELIEF IN SITE TO THE
RELATIVELY DRY START TO SPRING.
