.NEAR TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 358 AM CDT Wed Mar 25 2026

Current radar reflectivity data indicates that scattered light
showers (which surprisingly did bring trace amounts of rainfall to
small parts of the CWFA) have now spread southeastward into GA.
Although the primary initiating mechanism for this activity was a
low amplitude wave embedded in NW flow aloft, latest model
guidance suggests that a southwesterly low-level jet of 15-25
knots will become established across the TN Valley over the course
of the day as a northern stream vort max (emanating from a larger
trough off the Pacific Coast of BC) and surface low track
eastward across the northern Plains and into the western Great
Lakes. This will likely contribute to a scattered-broken deck of
lower-level stratocumulus clouds and perhaps even a few additional
light showers at various points throughout the day (warranting a
general 5-10% POP). As a low-level ridge axis builds further
southwestward into the northwestern Gulf, southeasterly surface
winds will veer to south-southwest, allowing dewpoints to climb
into the l-m 50s for all but perhaps the far eastern forecast
zones later this morning, and this should greatly improve the risk
for brush and wild fires today (even with high temps a couple of
degrees warmer than yesterday).

.SHORT TERM...
(Wednesday night through Friday)
Issued at 915 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2026

A gradual warming pattern is forecast through the end of the work
week in response to upper level ridging shifting slightly eastward
through the Deep South. High temperatures on Thursday and Friday
are forecast to reach the upper 70s to mid 80s, which is around 15
degrees above normal for this time of year. While we are currently
forecasting temperatures to stay below records on Thursday, it
will be something to keep an eye on in future updates. The record
high temperatures for KMSL and KHSV are 87 and 88 degrees,
respectively- both of which were set or tied in 2007. Dry
conditions are forecast to have a low chance of coming to an end
on Friday as a frontal boundary approaches the area from the
north. In turn, low chances (less than 30%) of rainfall are
forecast primarily north of the TN River.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 915 PM CDT Tue Mar 24 2026

A dry forecast prevails during days 4-7. A 5h anticyclone over
northwest Mexico will shift into the Gulf of America by Monday and
Tuesday. This will keep west-northwest flow aloft in play for our
region through this period. Surface high pressure over IL and MO to
start the period will shift to off VA and NC coastline on Sunday.
This will swing winds back around to a southerly direction by Sunday,
and southwesterly by Monday into Tuesday. 8h temps that begin at
3-6C on Saturday will eventually warm to 9-12C by Tuesday.
Consequently, after highs in the 60s Saturday, temperatures warm into
the upper 60s to lower 70s Sunday, middle to upper 70s on Monday,
and upper 70s to around 80 on Tuesday. After cool mornings in the
upper 30s to lower 40s on Saturday and Sunday mornings, lows only
drop into the 50s by Tuesday morning as dew points climb into the
upper 40s to lower 50s.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 642 AM CDT Wed Mar 25 2026

Conditions remain VFR at the HSV/MSL terminals early this
morning, with sct-bkn layers of mid and high-lvl clouds and a SE
wind ~5 kts. Sfc flow will veer to SSW and begin to strengthen
shortly after 12Z, with increasing low-lvl moisture supporting a
scattered-occasionally broken layer of lower-level stratocu (which
may result in brief MVFR cigs of 1500-2500 ft btwn 16-20Z).
Otherwise, bkn mid-lvl clouds will persist this evening, before a
more prominent stratus deck arrives early Thur morning (bringing
additional MVFR cigs).
