DISCUSSION

Issued at 215 AM EDT Mon Apr 6 2026

In the upper levels, a deep trough is over the Eastern U.S. At the surface, high pressure is building into the Midwest and Ohio Valley today. By midweek, a weak ridge builds into the Southeast and high pressure at the surface will be centered over the Northeast. Ridging over the Southeast and high pressure at the surface will likely hold through the weekend. Dry weather will continue all week and through the weekend. Frost will be possible in Southwest Virginia, Northeast Tennessee and the higher elevations this morning and tomorrow morning as ground moisture lingers and temperatures drop in the morning hours. By Wednesday morning, frost will still be possible but more patchy as morning RH is lower.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, will have good mixing conditions with mostly sunny skies. Therefore, afternoon RH values will be low in the 25-35% range in many locations. Fire weather concerns should be minimal with the recent soaking rain and winds will be light. Highs today and Tuesday will be in the 60s for most of the Tennessee Valley. A warming trend will start Wednesday with highs getting into the 70s through Friday and into the 80s for the weekend.
