DISCUSSION
Issued at 1205 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026
Surface high pressure migrates across the TN Valley over the course of the next 36 hours, followed by a reinforcing shot of cool air with another high pressure system that drops south out of Canada and slides across the Great Lakes and into the Ohio Valley. This will keep temperatures seasonally cool for the first half of the new week, with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s, and highs mainly in the upper 50s and 60s. Frost should not be much of a concern each morning given the brevity of the lows in the upper 30s, but in sheltered or ideal conditions, we cannot completely rule out its isolated or patchy appearance; perhaps the best morning for this chance is Tuesday morning, when that reinforcing shot of cool air drops dew points that have prevailed in the 30s down into the upper 20s for some northern locations.
The aforementioned high pressure anchors off the Eastern Seaboard by mid week, and return flow southerlies establish here. Thus commences a warmup for the back half of the week, with highs returning to the 70s and lows climbing back to the 50s. A moisture uptick comes with the warmer temps too, so smallish daily rain chances reappear in the forecast as well. These small chances might grow with time as both the 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks suggest above normal temps and pcpn are in the offing.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/
Issued at 1205 PM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026
FEW-SCT low VFR bases in our northeast will expire with the setting sun, as will gusts, as high pressure gradually ridges its way in overhead. Tmrw will offer similar VFR flight conditions to today, minus the wind amplitude given the high pressure system will be more centered here with its more relaxed gradient.
