(Tonight)

A cold front was located in southern TN and will push south
through the TN valley during the next couple of hours. SBCAPE
values of 500-1500 j/kg is helping to generate a isolated SHRA in
north AL. These will slide south of the area early this evening
and a dry overnight is forecast. Clouds should also tend to
dissipate as well as drier air and north flow develops behind the
front. Overnight lows should drop into the lower to middle 50s.

(Sunday and Sunday Night)
Issued at 1000 AM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025

An MCS originating in the central and southern Plains today will
be moving east through MO and AR Sunday morning. This system will
enter western KY and TN during the afternoon, but is not expected
to reach north AL or southern middle TN. Mid and high clouds may
tend to spill over into the area however, keeping high
temperatures in the mid 70s to around 80. The cold front that
moves through today will orient itself more south to north across
our eastern counties late Sunday into Sunday night as high
pressure wedges west through the Carolinas into Georgia. This will
divide dew points in the 50s east to the lower 60s west. Shower
chances appear to remain below 15% for our eastern counties
through Sunday night.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday)
Issued at 858 PM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025

With the frontal boundary still in the area, any
overrunning/isentropic ascent may tend to redevelop rainfall
northeast of the boundary. This may happen on Monday and again on
Tuesday in our eastern counties as the 5h ridge breaks down just a
bit. PoPs will remain low these days. However, PoPs will be low to
perhaps medium on Wednesday into Wednesday night as yet another
shortwave zips ahead of the a stronger Plains trough. However, the
surface warm front may lift north keeping the vast majority of the
activity to our north. But by Thursday into Thursday night, the
main trough and associated cold front arrive, with medium if not
high shower and thunderstorm chances. Temperatures warm into the
middle 80s Thursday afternoon and bulk shear look to be more
sufficient to support stronger storms. Its still several days out
so we will monitor run to run trends in coming days. Cooler and
drier air will follow the frontal passage on Friday with highs in
the upper 70s to around 80.
