(Today through Thursday) Issued at 140 AM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 A short wave trough will push out of Texas and track to our south. This will bring some high level clouds to the area throughout the day. Otherwise surface high pressure sitting off to our north will bring another great day. Highs will be a bit warmer pushing into the low to mid 80s. The Four Corners ridge will then start to push east and this will bring warming temperatures to Middle TN and a prolonged period of highs in the 90s late week through next week. Highs on Thursday will push into the mid 80s to lower 90s. Humidity will also start to increase on Thursday with dew points pushing into the mid 60s.

(Thursday Night through next Wednesday) Issued at 140 AM CDT Wed Jun 12 2024 Four Corners ridge will continue to build east late week into the weekend. This will bring hot conditions with highs in the 90s. The APEX of the ridge will be overhead on Sunday and that will bring the hottest day in the forecast period with highs well into the 90s and possible pushing to the century mark. The NBM gives much of the area a 20-50% chance of seeing highs 100 or greater. Upper level ridge will push east some on Monday giving us southerly flow and an increase in humidity. Dew points will push above 70. This will also bring some cooling but it will still remain hot with highs in the 90s. The upper level ridge will remain over the east for all of next week and will continue to build. This will keep conditions hot with daytime highs remaining in the 90s. Dry weather is expected through the weekend but with the increased humidity next week we could see a few popup afternoon thunderstorms.
