NEAR TERM
(TODAY)
ISSUED AT 313 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026
UNDER CLEAR SKIES, COOL CONDITIONS FOR EARLY JUNE PREVAILED WITH
3 AM TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S. RECORD
LOW TEMPERATURES OF 50 IN HUNTSVILLE AND MUSCLE SHOALS WILL STAND
GIVEN THAT LOWS THIS MORNING WILL BE ONLY IN THE MID/UPPER 50S.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THAT ORIGINATED FROM CANADA, WAS SPRAWLED
OVER THE VA/NC APPALACHIANS AND CONTROLLING THIS AREA'S SENSIBLE
WEATHER. THIS HIGH AND RIDGING ALOFT WILL MAKE FOR ANOTHER SUNNY
DAY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. WITH ONLY A SLIGHT MODERATION IN
THE AIRMASS, HIGH TEMPERATURES LATER TODAY SHOULD RISE INTO THE
LOWER 80S WITH LIGHT SE WINDS.
SHORT TERM
(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 909 PM CDT WED JUN 3 2026
THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY, DIRECTLY OVER THE REGION. AS A RESULT AN EVEN WARMER DAY
WILL BE ON TAP FOR FRIDAY AS HIGHS CREEP BACK INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 80S. THE RIDGE WILL SLIP EAST OF THE REGION ON SATURDAY AND
CONVECTION THAT FORMS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF MAY ATTEMPT TO PUSH
NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY. FOR NOW, THINK THAT THE
RIDGE WILL STILL BE THE MORE DOMINANT FEATURE IN OUR AREA AND DRY
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PERSIST FOR ONE MORE DAY. HOWEVER, A ROGUE
SHOWER/STORM MAY WORK ITS WAY IN LATE IN THE AFTERNOON, ALONG
WITH SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 909 PM CDT WED JUN 3 2026
AS THE RIDGE SHIFTS FURTHER TO THE EAST EARLY NEXT WEEK, DEEP
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL REALLY BEGIN TO ADVECT IN A WARM, MOIST
AIR MASS. THUS, RETURNS THE MORE TYPICAL WARM/MUGGY AIR MASS WE'VE
COME TO EXPECT IN EARLY JUNE AS EVIDENCED BY DEWPOINTS RETURNING
TO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID
80S IN MOST LOCATIONS EACH DAY. DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL
DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING, RESULTING IN MEDIUM CHANCES
(40-60%) FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE
MOIST ENVIRONMENT, ALL OF THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 617 AM CDT THU JUN 4 2026

SE AROUND 5KT IN THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON, THEN LIGHT AND
VARIABLE TONIGHT.
