(Tonight through Sunday) Issued at 202 AM CDT Thu May 30 2024 Upper level ridging and aforementioned sfc high pressure will continue to keep dry weather in place through the end of the work week. Low to medium rain chances (20-40%) return overnight Friday into Saturday as an upper level shortwave moves into the Tennessee Valley from the west ahead of a more pronounced trough. These shower/thunderstorm chances are forecast to increase in chance and coverage throughout the afternoon into the overnight hours (50-60%).
