.NEAR TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 204 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024

The cold front prompting a round of rain and storms late Sunday
evening has pushed well south of our area with cooler drier air
being ushered in behind it. Clearing of lingering clouds and light
showers will continue for the next several hours with mostly clear
conditions evolving by daybreak. Light NNW flow throughout the
day will reinforce the cooler drier air mass. This will be
immediately felt this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 80s
while dewpoints remain in the 50s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday)
Issued at 204 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024

By tonight, surface high pressure will begin to build in from the
NW. For the first part of the short term this will support
additional days of low dew points and cooler temps. Through
Wednesday, remaining on the eastern periphery of high pressure
will keep highs in the mid 80s, lows in the 50s and 60s, and
dewpoints below 60. With mostly clear skies expected each day,
conditions should be incredibly pleasant.

Thursday is when the the effects of high pressure will become a
little more impactful. Mid level ridging and surface high pressure
will push east and place us much closer to the center of a stout
high pressure. While this will keep skies clear and suppress rain
chances, it will also allow highs to soar into the low 90s on
Thursday. With ridging expected well into the long term, Thursday
will likely be the first day of several 90+ degree days. With the
end of the short term and into the long term likely being some of
the hottest days of the year so far, it will be important to
begin practicing proper heat safety while spending time outdoors.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Sunday)
Issued at 204 AM CDT Mon Jun 10 2024

The aformentioned ridging will only intensify through the long
term yielding subsequent days of temps above 90 degrees. While
each day through the long term will see highs in the 90s, Saturday
and Sunday look to be the hottest as center of the ridge pushes
into the TN Valley. Temperatures will be in the mid 90s, however
with the return of dewpoints in the 60s and 70s, heat index values
over 100 are not out of the question.

For those participating in outdoor activities through the weekend
it will be vital to practice proper heat safety. Protect yourself
from the sun via sunscreen or loose fitting light layers. Protect
yourself from heat exhaustion by taking frequent breaks in AC or
in shaded areas and staying hydrated throughout the weekend.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1155 PM CDT Sun Jun 9 2024

By the start of the TAF period VFR conditions should return and
remain for the duration of the TAF. The scattered ceiling will
lift by mid morning giving way to mostly clear skies. NNW winds
will be light with occasional gusts to 10-12 KTS.
