NEAR TERM

(Today) Issued at 301 AM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

Today will offer another rather benign day of weather across the TN Valley. Through the day, mid level troughing will continue to dampen and push off the Atlantic coast. This will allow for continued WAA from the SW in the low levels and at the surface. Thus, temps are forecast to be a degree or two warmer than yesterday with afternoon highs tapping out in the high 80s and perhaps a few urban locations making a run at 90. Fortunately we will maintain our seasonably dry airmass for one more day limiting dewpoints to the mid to high 60s. This will aid in keeping heat indices low this afternoon. Even so, as we venture into some of the warmest temps of the summer thus far, those sensitive to heat or without proper cooling/hydration will be at risk for heat related illnesses.

SHORT TERM

(Wednesday night through Friday) Issued at 1035 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025

A more tropical airmass begins to filter into the region late tomorrow into Thursday as high pressure strengthens over the Gulf and a broad warm sector lifts up into portions of the Ozarks and OH River Valley. This will remain the case through the end of the work week as high pressure remains anchored across the western Atlantic and the aforementioned low slowly lifts into the MO Ozarks. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s each day with overnight lows warming from the 60s to the lower 70s in areas Thursday night. Chances for afternoon thunderstorms will increase during this time as well, with low chances (10-20%) mainly south of the TN River on Thursday rising to medium chances (50-60%) area wide Friday. Strong to severe storms are not forecast at this time due to the lack of stronger synoptic forcing, but it is summer and any thunderstorm that develops has the potential to bring intense rainfall and lightning. With PWATs nearing 2", will have to watch for localized flooding with any thunderstorms that linger too long over the same location. Be sure to check back throughout the week in case the chances for a few strong to severe storms increase.

LONG TERM

(Friday night through Tuesday) Issued at 1035 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025

The upper low will begin to broaden out and weak troughing will pivot across the area late Saturday into Sunday, but there are some disagreements regarding the northern extent of the warm sector and the evolution of the upper low/trough at this range. What that means in terms of the forecast each day will probably result in very little change, as temps are expected to remain in the mid 80s to low 90s each afternoon with lows in the lower 70s. It will certainly feel more like summer as heat indices could approach the upper 90s in some areas from Friday onward. High rain/storm chances are forecast each afternoon especially during peak heating hours. The western Atlantic high is forecast to remain the main influence on weather here locally through Monday but models begin to diverge beyond that time period. Stay tuned as there are some signs that even warmer temperatures could be on the way next week!

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 537 AM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025

During the first few hours of the TAF period, patchy fog will have the potential to briefly lower visibilities to MVFR to IFR conditions. Beyond 14Z, daytime heating will aid in suppressing fog and allow for VFR conditions to prevail for the remainder of the TAF period at both terminals.
