.NEAR TERM...

(Rest of tonight and Monday)

Issued at 1041 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025



Light to occasionally moderate showers will continue to taper off

tonight as a cold front moves through the area. Some lingering 

flooding may persist through the night especially in poor draining

or low lying areas that received heavy rainfall over the past 24 

hours. Drier air will slowly start to filter into the forecast 

area tonight and on Monday as high pressure builds to our west and

an upper trough axis pushes east and centers over the 

Appalachians into the Tennessee Valley. Temperatures will fall to 

the mid to upper 40s tonight, making it the coolest night we have 

had in several days. We will transition to a drier and much colder

airmass behind this front, and highs will be limited to the mid 

to upper 50s on Monday. Cloud cover will begin to thin tomorrow 

afternoon with occasionally breezy NNW flow through the day.

.SHORT TERM...

(Monday night through Wednesday)

Issued at 1041 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025



The short term period will be defined by dry and much cooler

weather as the aforementioned trough continues to dig over the far

east CONUS and sfc high pressure shifts south through the OH River

Valley. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 30s to low 40s

with some locations potentially at risk for frost tomorrow night.

Highs on Tuesday will mimic Monday only rising into the mid to 

upper 50s. The coldest air will be felt Tuesday night into

Wednesday morning as the sfc high centers just to our east and

radiational cooling allows temps to fall to near or just below the

freezing mark. Frost/Freeze headlines will likely be issued for

this timeframe, so don't put away those winter coats and clothing

just yet. Weak ridging will slowly shift east on Wednesday and a 

return to southerly flow and gradual height rises will allow temps

to reach the mid to upper 60s on Wednesday ahead of a shortwave 

disturbance that will be responsible for our next chance of rain.

.LONG TERM...

(Wednesday night through Sunday)

Issued at 1041 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025



The aforementioned shortwave will dig through the Great Lakes 

region Wednesday night and a cold front will push east followed by

longwave troughing that will dig into the Southeast by the 

weekend. A weak cold front will accompany the shortwave passage as

a sfc low lifts into the Great Lakes. Low to medium chances 

(20-50%) of showers and maybe even embedded thunderstorms will 

increase Thursday morning first over NE AL and southern middle TN 

and then spread south and west into the remainder of the Tennessee

Valley Thursday afternoon. The good news is that severe weather 

is not expected with this frontal passage. The upper level trough 

pushes to the east at the end of the week, bringing back dry 

weather to start the weekend.

.AVIATION...

(00Z TAFS)

Issued at 620 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025



MVFR cigs have prevailed through the afternoon hours and are

expected to lower further as we get into the overnight hours. Some

additional light shower development is possible through the 

evening hours, but confidence on coverage or intensity was not 

high enough to include in TAFs at this time. Reductions to IFR or 

brief periods of LIFR cigs will be possible during the overnight 

and morning hours before VFR conditions return late tomorrow 

morning. Southerly winds will shift to the north or NNW this 

evening as a cold front moves through the area. Wind gusts up to 

or just above 15kts will be possible Monday afternoon.
