KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1004 PM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

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

NEAR TERM

(Rest of tonight and Tuesday) Issued at 1004 PM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

Through tonight and into tomorrow NW flow both at the surface and aloft will dominate. This will maintain our relatively seasonal temperatures with lows in the mid 40s tonight and highs in the low to mid 70s tomorrow.

The continued NW flow will keep dewpoints in the lower 40s through the day tomorrow. As temps rise this will drop RH down to around 30%. This paired with gradient wind gusts around 15-20 MPH is eye catching for fire weather, however neither parameter will be sufficiently close to fire critical fire weather criteria to warrant widespread concern. Winds will veer through the evening into the night, prompting an increase in temps and moisture through the short term.

SHORT TERM

(Tuesday night through Thursday) Issued at 1004 PM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

Through Tuesday winds will veer to the SE as high pressure builds in over the NE coast. This will prompt a slow but prolonged period of moisture return with dew points rebounding to the mid 40s to low 50s by Thursday. Aloft, a passing short wave will support increased cloud cover with most of the day on Wednesday being overcast. This will moderate temperatures and keep highs in the low 70s. Despite the clouds, models indicate fairly dry air near the surface, keeping rain chances below 10% on Wednesday. Skies will clear through the day on Thursday with weak WAA continuing from SE surface flow allowing for a warm up as we head into the long term forecast.

LONG TERM

(Thursday night through Monday) Issued at 1004 PM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

High pressure will persist across the Southeast and Mid Atlantic at the end of the week. As a northern stream system pushes out of the Great Lakes and into the Northeast on Saturday, it will squish the high pressure over the region. The high will be strong enough to hold off the approaching cold front, keeping the TN Valley dry. The ridge will build stronger over the region on Sunday, before a shortwave glides through and dampens it on Monday. Regardless of the fluctuation of the ridge, southerly winds will help provide a gradual increase in temps through the weekend and into next week. We will hold onto the 70s for one more day on Friday before returning to the 80s over the weekend and into next week. The parched soil will not get any relief in the long term as conditions will remain dry.

AVIATION

(00Z TAFS) Issued at 534 PM CDT Mon Apr 6 2026

VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period at both terminals.
