KEY MESSAGES

- NO IMPACTFUL WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS.
NEAR TERM
(TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1216 PM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
OTHER THAN LOWERING DEW POINTS THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO DRIER
CONDITIONS FOR THE LOCAL AREA, NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE FORECAST FOR THIS UPDATE. STILL ANTICIPATING HIGHS TO
REACH THE LOWER 70S FOR MOST LOCATIONS (PERHAPS UPPER 60S OVER
PORTIONS OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NE AL). TONIGHT WILL BE TRANQUIL
AS WELL, WITH SOME UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS STREAMING OVERHEAD. CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT IT'LL STILL BE BIT TOO DRY TO HAVE MUCH CONCERN
FOR FOG OVERNIGHT. LASTLY, LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO DIP INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 40S LATER TONIGHT.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION:
A DRY COLD FRONT MOVED SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY IN
THE OVERNIGHT WITH LITTLE FANFAIR. AS OF THE LATE MORNING, THE
BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED IN A WEST TO EAST MANNER FROM SOUTH OF THE
EASTERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN TRIANGLE, BIRMINGHAM, AND ATLANTA.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER WISCONSIN SHOULD CONTINUE BUILDING TO
THE ESE, AND HELPING TO MAINTAIN DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES NOW IN THE LOWER 60S, SHOULD WARM INTO THE LOWER 70S
LATER TODAY, WITH NORTHEAST WINDS OF 5-15 MPH AND A FEW HIGHER
GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON.
THE SURFACE HIGH SHOULD CONTINUE BUILDING TO THE EAST, BEING
SITUATED OVER THE MID ATLANTIC/NEW ENGLAND REGION BY EARLY WED
MORNING. NE WINDS TODAY SHOULD BECOME NE-E AT 5-10 MPH TONIGHT.
EXPECT ANOTHER COOL NIGHT WITH LOW TEMPERATURES CHILLING INTO THE
MID/UPPER 40S.
SHORT TERM
(WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1044 AM CDT TUE APR 7 2026
SCATTERED HIGH ALTITUDE CLOUDS, SOME OF IT BLOW-OFF FROM PREVIOUS
CONVECTION WELL TO OUR WEST SHOULD RETURN WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE,
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BY THEN SHOULD BE OFF OF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST, RESULTING IN A SE FLOW. THIS WARMER FLOW AND A MODERATING
AIRMASS SHOULD RESULT IN SLIGHTLY MILDER CONDITIONS, WITH HIGHS
INTO THE LOW/MID 70S. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY 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.
