KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 902 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

- Low to medium chances for showers and thunderstorms continue through the week.

- Hot and humid conditions persist with highs in the lower 90s each afternoon.

NEAR TERM

(Rest of tonight and Tuesday) Issued at 902 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

With the loss of daytime heating, the few showers that linger will continue to dissipate as we head into the night. Tranquil conditions are forecast overnight with temperatures remaining mild with lows only dropping down into the lower 70s. Given the humid airmass and moist ground from earlier rainfall, patchy dense fog may develop early Tuesday morning before sunrise. Fog should remain contained to along the area rivers, but this will be monitored through the night to see if any advisories are needed.

Satellite imagery shows a low spinning across Arkansas this evening and is forecast to slowly drift eastward on Tuesday. Once again, medium chances (40-60%) of diurnally driven showers and storms are expected. Model soundings have 1000-1500 J/kg of CAPE, but no shear. Column is quite saturated with pwats between 1.8-2 inches. Therefore, severe storms are not anticipated, but locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds are main hazards with any storms. More breaks in the clouds on Tuesday will help raise afternoon temperatures into the upper 80s to lower 90s.

SHORT TERM

(Tuesday night through Thursday Night) Issued at 902 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

The Tennessee Valley will sit underneath an upper level trough as the upper low meanders eastward through the short term period. As a result, the local weather pattern remains unchanged with low to medium chances for showers and thunderstorms both Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures remain seasonal for this time of year with afternoon highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s with overnight lows in the lower 70s. Low chances for patchy fog will continue each morning, especially along area rivers and in areas that receive rain during the day.

LONG TERM

(Friday through Monday) Issued at 902 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

The upper low finally gets pushed off to the east on Friday as a more zonal flow takes shape across the Southeast. This will limit the coverage in showers and storms on Friday afternoon. A weak cold front begins to drop southward this weekend. While this will not provide much relief to the warm and humid airmass, it will provide a more favorable area for showers and storms to develop. Therefore, medium (40-70%) chances of afternoon showers and storms are forecast both Saturday and Sunday. An upper level trough digs down along the East Coast on Monday. This will bring northerly flow to the local forecast area. As a result, only low chances for precip is forecast on Monday. Throughout the long term period, afternoon highs are forecast to be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with overnight lows in the lower 70s.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 600 PM CDT Mon Jul 6 2026

This evening, expect isolated showers/storms to impact the terminals. Given the low coverage have opted to go with a tempo group for the next few hours as storms may produce gusty winds and brief reductions in visibility. VFR conditions and light winds return tonight and continue through tomorrow. Included a prob 30 group for tomorrow afternoon as thunderstorms are once again expected but confidence in timing and location is uncertain.
