.NEAR TERM...
(Tonight and Thursday)
Issued at 909 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley this evening, with
high pressure promoting clear/calm conditions. Thus, it will be a
good night for radiational cooling as temperatures will drop off
quickly, eventually settling into the mid to upper 50s in most
locations. Extremely comfortable for early June in the Tennessee
Valley! We can expect more of the same on Thursday, with high
pressure in control. Mostly sunny and dry conditions with
southerly winds will make for a warm day as temperatures climb
back into the low to mid 80s by the mid/late afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday night through Saturday)
Issued at 909 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

The center of the ridge will shift eastward Thursday night into
Friday, directly over the region. As a result an even warmer day
will be on tap for Friday as highs creep back into the mid to
upper 80s. The ridge will slip east of the region on Saturday and
convection that forms along the northern Gulf may attempt to push
northward into the area late in the day. For now, think that the
ridge will still be the more dominant feature in our area and dry
conditions will likely persist for one more day. However, a rogue
shower/storm may work its way in late in the afternoon, along
with some mid/high clouds.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 909 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

As the ridge shifts further to the east early next week, deep
southwesterly flow will really begin to advect in a warm, moist
air mass. Thus, returns the more typical warm/muggy air mass we`ve
come to expect in early June as evidenced by dewpoints returning
to the upper 60s to lower 70s. Daytime highs will reach the mid
80s in most locations each day. Diurnally driven convection will
develop each afternoon and evening, resulting in medium chances
(40-60%) for showers and thunderstorms each afternoon. Given the
moist environment, all of these storms will be capable of
producing locally heavy downpours.
