.NEAR TERM...
(Rest of Today and Tonight)
Issued at 852 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

8 AM radar and satellite show clouds and rain pushing to the SE
out of our forecast area. The associated cold front looks to be
draped from NE GA through central AL. Behind the front, clearing
is currently occurring from west to east. As surface high
pressure builds to our NW, clear skies will develop through the
morning. Between the the cold front to our SE and high pressure to
our NW, winds will remain gusty this afternoon with gusts up to
20 MPH. Despite the clear skies, gusty NW winds promoting CAA will
moderate our temperatures with highs only in the mid 60s this
afternoon.

NW flow both at the surface and aloft will continue through the
night. Mostly clear skies coupled with continued CAA will allow
lows to drop into the 40s tonight, make sure to grab a jacket
before heading out the door Monday morning.

.SHORT TERM...
(Monday through Wednesday)
Issued at 852 AM CDT Sun Apr 5 2026

The short term period will see benign weather as zonal flow aloft
dominates. Surface high pressure will pass from our NW to NE
through the period prompting clear skies and mild temperatures.
highs will slowly rebound from the mid 60s on Monday to the low
70s on Wednesday with lows remaining in the 40s. The post frontal
airmass from our weekend cold front will remain through mid week
prompting a gradual decrease in dewpoints through Monday. Dew
points will drop into the high 30s to low 40s and remain low
through Wednesday. Fortunately the mild spring temperatures will
keep RH from nearing critical indices and wind gusts, while
elevated at times, will also remain below 20 MPH. Thus, despite
the dry forecast, fire weather conditions are not a concern at
this time.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Saturday)
Issued at 1045 PM CDT Sat Apr 4 2026

Ensembles hint at an upper level trough swinging through the TN
Valley mid week, bringing a low chance of showers to the area
Wednesday. This will be short-lived, however, as an upper level
ridge quickly fills in by Thursday and dry conditions return
through the end of the week. In response to the aforementioned
upper level ridge, a warming trend is forecast through the weekend
as highs rise to the 80s by Saturday. Overnight lows through the
long term period will likely remain in the 50s.

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions will prevail at both terminals through the duration
of the TAF period. Winds will be elevated at times this afternoon
with NNW gusts up to 16KTS. Gusts will decrease overnight with NNW
winds remaining through the TAF period.
