KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1228 AM CDT TUE JUN 9 2026

- High temperatures will climb by the middle of this week, reaching the lower 90s in many locations by today.

DISCUSSION

(Tuesday through next Monday) Issued at 1117 PM CDT MON JUN 8 2026

Shower and thunderstorm chances will start to shift east today, as the weak upper-level trough we've been talking about the last few days starts to establish itself across the region. However, this trough will be very short lived, as stout upper-level ridging will begin to build in over Texas. In turn, most of the rain opportunities from Wednesday onwards will be very scattered, fueled by peak heating during the afternoon hours.

More organized rain chances will return to the forecast by Saturday, as zonal flow over the Midwest slowly begins to drop into Tennessee. Embedded in this zonal flow is an elongated cold front, which will slowly work south with the zonal flow and stall. From here, an enhanced area of vorticity will ride this stalled front from west to east, allowing for the aforementioned increase in rain chances. Given the increased cloud and rain coverage, afternoon highs should drop down a few degrees, still mostly hanging in the upper-80s. Until then, look for afternoon highs to continue to range in the low-90s into the weekend.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1228 AM CDT TUE JUN 9 2026

Patchy fog may affect terminals this morning, especially at TCL, EET, and BHM, where skies are clearing and rainfall occurred yesterday. Included a TEMPO or prevailing for MVFR vis at all terminals through roughly 13z. Brief MVFR cigs may materialize as well, but confidence is lower. Included only at EET for now.

Additional showers and thunderstorms are possible after 20z this afternoon, but confidence was only high enough to introduce PROB30 groups along and east of I-65. TCL should not be affected. Highest chances for rain/thunder are at AUO, with a window of SHRA from 19z to 2z and PROB30 for TSRA from 20z to 01z.

FIRE WEATHER

Elevated chances for showers and thunderstorms are expected for much of this week. Because of that, MinRH values will remain above 45% or higher into next weekend. Given daily rain chances and high MinRH values, fire weather concerns remain low at this time.
