KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 852 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

- No impact weather is forecast for the next week.

NEAR TERM

(Rest of Today and Tonight) Issued at 852 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

8 AM radar and satellite show clouds and rain pushing to the SE out of our forecast area. The associated cold front looks to be draped from NE GA through central AL. Behind the front, clearing is currently occurring from west to east. As surface high pressure builds to our NW, clear skies will develop through the morning. Between the the cold front to our SE and high pressure to our NW, winds will remain gusty this afternoon with gusts up to 20 MPH. Despite the clear skies, gusty NW winds promoting CAA will moderate our temperatures with highs only in the mid 60s this afternoon.

NW flow both at the surface and aloft will continue through the night. Mostly clear skies coupled with continued CAA will allow lows to drop into the 40s tonight, make sure to grab a jacket before heading out the door Monday morning.

SHORT TERM

(Monday through Wednesday) Issued at 852 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

The short term period will see benign weather as zonal flow aloft dominates. Surface high pressure will pass from our NW to NE through the period prompting clear skies and mild temperatures. highs will slowly rebound from the mid 60s on Monday to the low 70s on Wednesday with lows remaining in the 40s. The post frontal airmass from our weekend cold front will remain through mid week prompting a gradual decrease in dewpoints through Monday. Dew points will drop into the high 30s to low 40s and remain low through Wednesday. Fortunately the mild spring temperatures will keep RH from nearing critical indices and wind gusts, while elevated at times, will also remain below 20 MPH. Thus, despite the dry forecast, fire weather conditions are not a concern at this time.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through Saturday) Issued at 1045 PM CDT Sat Apr 4 2026

Ensembles hint at an upper level trough swinging through the TN Valley mid week, bringing a low chance of showers to the area Wednesday. This will be short-lived, however, as an upper level ridge quickly fills in by Thursday and dry conditions return through the end of the week. In response to the aforementioned upper level ridge, a warming trend is forecast through the weekend as highs rise to the 80s by Saturday. Overnight lows through the long term period will likely remain in the 50s.

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 635 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

MVFR CIGS will likely hold on just a bit longer until around 14Z at KHSV before scattering out. VFR conditions and northerly breezy conditions with winds around 10 kts gusting to around 20 kts are expected with abundant sunshine after 15Z.
