.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.
