KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 912 AM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

- Strong to severe storms capable of damaging winds (50-60mph) and large hail (up to 1 inch) are expected late this morning through the afternoon.

- Dry weather finally returns Tuesday and continues through the remainder of the work week.

NEAR TERM

(Tonight) Issued at 127 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

A line of severe storms continues to push south through northern AL. Wind gusts 50 mph and hail around 0.5 inch have been reported with numerous power outages and trees down across the area. The line as of 18z is draped along the TN River and moving south around 25 mph. It should clear the local forecast area between 2-3 pm. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for all of northern AL until 7pm, but will likely be canceled early once the line moves further to the south.

Once the line passes through, some lingering light showers and thunderstorms may linger for a few more hours and then dry weather returns later tonight. Low clouds should move in and limit fog development, but if clearing does occur than conditions would be favorable for fog.

SHORT TERM

(Tuesday through Wednesday) Issued at 912 AM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

A welcomed pattern change arrives during the short term period. After over a week of daily rain chances, both Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be dry. As a cooler and drier airmass advects in from the north, dewpoints will fall on Tuesday from the lower 60s down into the mid 50s on Wednesday. A nice reprieve from the sauna-like 70 degree dewpoints. Afternoon highs each afternoon will rise into the upper 70s to lower 80s with overnight lows in the mid to upper 50s.

LONG TERM

(Wednesday night through Sunday) Issued at 927 PM CDT Sun May 31 2026

A large area of high pressure will build in mid to late week, promoting tranquil, dry conditions through Friday as ample sunshine and light southerly winds will allow highs to reach the mid to perhaps upper 80s, with overnight dropping to the upper 50s to lower 60s. The high will eventually slide east of the area during the weekend as another system approaches from the west. This may bring low chances (20-30%) of showers/storms back into the forecast for Saturday and low-medium (20-40%) on Sunday.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1146 AM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026

A line of thunderstorms is forecast to move through the terminals at the start of the TAF period. VFR conditions will occur until this line reaches the terminal when visibility and ceilings drop down to MVFR from the strong thunderstorms. Added a tempo to account for gusty winds to 30 knots, but if storms do intensify the winds could be stronger. Amendments may be needed. Once the line passes through a gradual return to VFR conditions is expected. Right now it looks like some low level clouds move in early tomorrow morning, but coverage should be scattered keeping VFR conditions. However, if these clouds do not move in then there is a low chance of dense fog development.
