SHORT TERM
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1100 AM CDT FRI MAY 8 2026
A FANTASTIC SPRING DAY WAS UNDERWAY THIS FRIDAY WITH HIGHS
REACHING THE SEASONABLE 70S. DRY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS OVER
THE AREA. AT UPPER LEVELS, A BROAD TROUGH WAS OVER THE EASTERN
STATES WITH A RIDGE OUT WEST.
THERE WILL BE A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE REGION TONIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY. THE GREATEST LIFT AND DEEPEST MOISTURE WITH
THESE SYSTEMS WILL TRACK TO OUR NORTH ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND
TO OUR SOUTH NEAR THE GULF COAST. SO, OTHER THAN AN ISOLATED STRAY
SHOWER OR SPRINKLE, OUR FORECAST IS PRETTY MUCH DRY THROUGH
SATURDAY AND EVEN INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THE MAIN IMPACT WILL BE
PASSING PATCHES OF CLOUDS. THE INCOMING CLOUDS AND LIGHT SOUTH
BREEZES WILL MAKE TONIGHT WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT. LOWS WILL BE IN
THE LOWER 50S, EXCEPT 40S IN SHELTERED AREAS. HIGHS ON SATURDAY
WILL TREND UP A FEW DEGREES WITH MOSTLY LOWER 80S. SATURDAY NIGHT
LOWS WILL BE IN THE SEASONABLE 50S.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 1100 AM CDT FRI MAY 8 2026
FOR SUNDAY, A MORE SUBSTANTIAL WAVE WITH A COLD FRONT WILL COME
DOWN IN THE BROAD EASTERN TROUGH. THIS WILL SET OFF SHOWERS AND A
FEW STORMS, STARTING SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT ESPECIALLY SUNDAY
EVENING. PWATS AND OTHER PARAMETERS ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE, SO WE ARE
NOT LOOKING FOR A LOT OF RAIN, AND WE DO NOT EXPECT SEVERE STORMS.
MOST AREAS WILL HAVE LESS THAN ONE QUARTER INCH OF RAIN.
AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES MONDAY MORNING, DRY AND SLIGHTLY
COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN WITH UPPER 60S TO MID 70S FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. ANOTHER FRONT WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE AREA LATE TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY, GIVING A LOW CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND KEEPING OUR
HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE PLEASANT, SEASONABLE 70S. HEADING INTO NEXT
WEEKEND, IT LOOKS LIKE TEMPS WILL CREEP UPWARD INTO THE 80S AS THE
WESTERN RIDGE BEGINS TO EXPAND EASTWARD.
