KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1008 AM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

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

NEAR TERM

(Rest of Today and Tonight) Issued at 1008 AM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

Overall, surface high pressure will keep rain out of the forecast today. A surface boundary looks to move into the Tennessee Valley this evening, but weaken and eventually stall over central Tennessee. This feature may start to move southward once again later tonight; however, there is little (if any) moisture associated with this decaying surface boundary. Thus, no impactful weather is forecast for today and tonight.

With CAA from upper level northwest flow, even with mostly clear skies today, highs are expected to only reach the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. It'll also be fairly cool later tonight as lows dip into the lower to mid 40s! Therefore, it may not be a bad idea to keep at least a light jacket handy today and tonight. Otherwise, enjoy your Monday!

SHORT TERM

(Tuesday through Wednesday) Issued at 1008 AM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

Northwest flow aloft will give way to brief upper ridging Tuesday evening through Wednesday. However, by Wednesday afternoon, a shortwave looks to traverse the ArkLaTex region headed towards the Southeast (discussed more below). Surface high pressure over the eastern CONUS will also gradually shift eastward through midweek as a low pressure system strengthens and pushes over the north- central CONUS. Ultimately, no rain is forecast for north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee through Wednesday afternoon, but we may see some midlevel clouds during the day on Wednesday. Breezy southwest winds are anticipated as well. As for temperatures, expect an ever so slight warm up through midweek. Highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s are expected, with lows in the mid to upper 40s Tuesday night.

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

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1241 PM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

VFR weather should continue across the area for the TAF. NE winds of 5-10kt this afternoon should subside below 5kt tonight, before increasing into the 5-10kt range from the NE on Tue.
