An elongated upper ridge located to the north will expand this week with surface high pressure centered from the Midwest and Ohio Valley. Much drier conditions can be expected today and into Tuesday with temperatures slowly climbing into the mid to upper 80s. The forecast the rest of this week and into the weekend looks more summer like. A few afternoon showers and storms are possible mainly for southern portions of the area. The highest chances for rain this week are on Wednesday when an upper disturbance moves east to west to our south. High temperatures will climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s by mid to late week and into the weekend.

SCT cu should be more widespread on Tuesday, particularly across the south half of the region. May flirt with BKN category at times for KPAH/KCGI. Initial bases around 2.5 to 3kft late morning will rise to 4-5kft by early afternoon. Isolated showers and storms are possible during the afternoon and early evening, mainly close to the TN/AR borders. While KPAH/KCGI stand highest chance, probability is still too low to include mention. Winds will be out of the east-northeast tomorrow, generally less than 10 kts.
