.NEAR TERM...

(Today)

Issued at 316 AM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025



Light, sporadic showers can be seen on radar currently from 

Cullman and Morgan counties up through Jackson, Dekalb, and 

Marshall counties. This activity is expected to dwindle over the 

next couple of hours. While a low chance (10-30%) of showers may 

redevelop over these areas later this morning and into the early 

afternoon, most locations will remain dry. Cloud cover is expected

to gradually clear from northwest to southeast later today, with 

clear skies this evening. However, clouds and cold air advection 

from northwest flow will keep our high temperatures from warming 

past the mid to upper 50s today. Make sure to grab a jacket on 

your way out the door this morning!

.SHORT TERM...

(Tonight 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...

(12Z TAFS)

Issued at 548 AM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025



MVFR to IFR CIGs were observed at the TAF sites at issuance. 

There is the potential for further reductions in CIGs to possibly 

LIFR (especially for HSV) through about 14Z. Conditions will then 

gradually improve through the day, with VFR anticipated by late 

afternoon/early this evening. There is a low chance (10-30%) of 

light showers redeveloping from central Alabama up through 

northeast Alabama today, but this is not expected to impact the 

terminals. Northwest winds between 5-10 knots and gusts to around 

15-18 knots are expected through the day. Winds will then diminish

this evening, becoming northerly late tonight.
