KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 854 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

- No impact weather is forecast for the next 7 days.

NEAR TERM

(Today) Issued at 449 AM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

Not much change early this morning with thin high clouds remaining over the area above 20,000 feet. Winds remain between 5 and 10 mph in most locations. However, some valley locations in NE Alabama have gone calm over the last hour. Dewpoint depressions are still 4 to 8 degrees in most locations. With cloud cover, no fog is expected to develop around daybreak in northern Alabama or in our Tennessee counties. Temperatures are still in the 43 to 48 degree range primarily. We could see a few sheltered valley locations drop to 39 or 40 degrees before sunrise, but that will be a bit of a stretch even in sheltered valley locations. Most areas will see temperatures in the lower 40s to around 46 degrees when you wake today.

Guidance keeps this very high (but thin) cloud cover over northern Alabama through 1 PM at least, maybe through the day in far southeastern portions of Marshall and DeKalb counties. This will help to keep highs in the 65 to 70 degree range primarily.

SHORT TERM

(Monday night through Wednesday) Issued at 854 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

The weather pattern remains unchanged as we head through the middle of the work week. The aformentioned sfc high pressure over the Plains continues to drift eastward across the Tennessee Valley. A dry cold front is forecast to swing through the area on Tuesday, but the only noticeable impact will be an increase in winds during the day with gusts up to 15-20 mph. Otherwise, expect afternoon highs on Tuesday and Wednesday to reach the upper 60s to lower 70s with overnight lows in the mod 40s.

LONG TERM

(Wednesday night through Sunday) Issued at 854 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Wednesday night, model guidance hints at a weak shortwave trough approaching the area from the west. However, with strong high pressure located along the East Coast, dry conditions should win out keeping a rain free forecast through the middle of the week. Southerly flow returns Thursday through the weekend, which will bring a gradual warming trend. Expect afternoon highs Thursday in the mid 70s, on Friday in the upper 70s, and then the lower 80s this weekend. As the upper level ridge across the Southeast continues to build, there appears no relief in site to the relatively dry start to Spring.

AVIATION

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 114 AM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

VFR conditions are expected throughout the TAF period. Some high clouds (well above 10,000 feet) will linger into the day. Northerly winds around 10 kts gusting to between 15 and 20 kts are expected through 07/00Z. Winds should become more northeasterly beyond that timeframe and lessen to around 5kts.
