.NEAR TERM...

(Rest of Today and Tonight)

Issued at 822 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025



A cold front that previously brought showers and storms to the

area last night has pushed southeastward through the Tennessee 

Valley. Behind this, sfc high pressure continues to filter in from

the northwest and dry weather continues in its wake. High

temperatures are forecast to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s this

afternoon under mostly clear skies. Tonight, temperatures drop

into the mid 60s- which will feel relatively cool compared to the

70s we've been recently experiencing.

.SHORT TERM...

(Thursday through Saturday)

Issued at 822 AM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025



As an upper level ridge continues to hold its place over the

South-Central U.S., the Tennessee Valley remains associated with

sfc high pressure and subsequent dry conditions through the

weekend. Highs are forecast to reach the upper 80s to mid 90s

through the week along with heat indices near 100 degrees

beginning Friday (July 4th). Increased heat concerns continue

through the weekend, with little to no cloud cover forecast to

provide any relief. If you have outdoor plans, be sure to use sun

protection and stay hydrated! Rain chances return early next week.

More on that in the long term section below.

.LONG TERM...

(Friday night through Tuesday)

Issued at 950 PM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025



The aforementioned ridge will continue to shift east over the

weekend, and will support the increase in more tropical like air

across the Tennessee Valley. The main concern over the weekend and

into next week will be the heat as temps reach back into the 90s

and afternoon heat indices look like they will meet or exceed the

100 degree mark. For now, it does look like we will remain dry 

through the weekend but this could change depending on the exact 

progression of the ridge. Nonetheless, thunderstorm chances will 

increase beginning next week as we transition back to a more hot 

and humid airmass with low chances for thunderstorms (10-30%) each

afternoon. The good news is that there is currently no evidence in

any organized system that would bring severe weather to the

Tennessee Valley.
