SHORT TERM

LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1004 PM CDT MON APR 6 2026
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC AT
THE END OF THE WEEK. AS A NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM PUSHES OUT OF THE
GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY, IT WILL SQUISH THE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION. THE HIGH WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
HOLD OFF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT, KEEPING THE TN VALLEY DRY. THE
RIDGE WILL BUILD STRONGER OVER THE REGION ON SUNDAY, BEFORE A
SHORTWAVE GLIDES THROUGH AND DAMPENS IT ON MONDAY. REGARDLESS OF THE
FLUCTUATION OF THE RIDGE, SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL HELP PROVIDE A
GRADUAL INCREASE IN TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. WE
WILL HOLD ONTO THE 70S FOR ONE MORE DAY ON FRIDAY BEFORE RETURNING TO
THE 80S OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. THE PARCHED SOIL WILL
NOT GET ANY RELIEF IN THE LONG TERM AS CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY.
