602 FXUS64 KHUN 040441 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 1141 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 909 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 - Low to medium chances (40-60%) of showers and thunderstorms returns Sunday through Tuesday. && .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. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1140 PM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026 VFR conditions will prevail at each terminal through the period with light winds and a mostly clear sky. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
