KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 826 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

- Medium to high chances (40-80%) of showers and thunderstorms return Sunday through early next week.

- A more summerlike pattern sets up by midweek, with low to medium chances (30-50%) of showers and storms during the day then tapering out in the evening.

- High temperatures warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s Wednesday through Friday.

NEAR TERM

(Tonight and Saturday) Issued at 826 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley this evening and overnight as an area of high pressure remains in control of our sensible weather. Other than some bands of cirrus passing overhead, it should be another mostly clear and comfortable night in this dry air mass. As a result, temperatures will drop into the lower 60s in most locations by early Saturday morning. The aforementioned area of high pressure will scoot east of the region on Saturday as winds increase out of the southeast. This will help advect some Gulf moisture back into the region and result in a warmer, more humid day as highs reach the mid/upper 80s to around 90 degrees. A few storms may develop to our south, but other than some added cloud cover, think subsidence is too strong and that Saturday will likely be another dry day.

SHORT TERM

(Saturday night through Monday) Issued at 826 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

A return to a more active pattern will occur early next week as a trough of low pressure develops over Texas Saturday night into Sunday and moves across the Mid South and Ohio Valley on Monday, dragging a weak frontal boundary in the vicinity of the region. This feature will bring low to medium (30-60%) chances of showers and thunderstorms (aided by diurnal heating) during the afternoon and evening hours. With dewpoints rising into the upper 60s to lower 70s and PWATs in the 1.8" to 2.1" range, this activity will be capable of producing locally heavy downpours and potentially a few instances of minor flooding should slow-moving convection train over the same area. Bulk shear values aren't too impressive pretty weak so would expect this activity to be somewhat disorganized and pulse-like in nature -- with perhaps a storms or two becoming locally strong and capable of producing gusty winds. Otherwise it will be very warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s and peak heat index values around 90 degrees.

LONG TERM

(Monday night through Friday) Issued at 826 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

A shortwave will continue its journey to round the Southeast's ridge on Tuesday, before shifting the ridge eastward thereafter. This will help keep low to medium chances (30-60%) of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast Monday night through Tuesday. With the sfc high centered in the Mid- Atlantic, southerly winds will continue to advect in warm, moist air into the region through mid week. During this time, another ridge amplifies up from the Southern Plains into the Great Lakes, but will be blocked on progressing eastward. This will provide us with an increase in temperatures (upper 80s to lower 90s) through the week. With the amount of moisture in place, there will be diurnally driven convection along with heat index values in the upper 90s. Yes, it's June, but these hot and humid conditions will create elevated Heat Risk values, so ensure you are staying cool and hydrated!

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 530 PM CDT Fri Jun 5 2026

VFR conditions will prevail at both terminals through the period with light winds out of the SE. A scattered Cu field around 4 kft will redevelop by late Saturday morning through the afternoon.
