KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 213 PM EDT Sun Apr 5 2026

- Dry weather this week and through the upcoming weekend.

- Cooler to start the period, with a warming trend for Wednesday through the weekend.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 213 PM EDT Sun Apr 5 2026

Currently, cooler and drier air continues to filter in behind the departed cold front as surface high pressure builds in from the west. A rather uneventful weather week looks to be on tap for this forecast period. High pressure will remain in control through Monday, then a moisture starved cold front will approach late Monday and push through our area Monday night into Tuesday before washing out. No precipitation is expected with this front, but another shot of cooler air will move in behind it. We will start the week with temperatures around or even slightly below seasonal normals and there may be some late night/early morning patchy frost in a few areas during the next few nights, especially north, with the coldest night likely to be Tuesday night.

Relative humidity values will be low each day as well over the next several days, with minimum values likely dipping at least as low as the upper 20s and 30s each afternoon across much of the area.

High pressure will continue to keep us dry for the remainder of the period through Sunday, along with a warming trend beginning Wednesday and continuing through the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will be back to well above normal by the weekend.

AVIATION

Any brief low cigs at TYS/TRI will quickly clear out with VFR conditions expected all sites for the remainder of the period. May be some fog around sunrise at TRI but right now the probability of occurrence looks too low to include.
