Post-frontal sfc high pressure continues to dominate the Tennessee

Valley, forcing dry conditions despite diurnal heating as high

temperatures have warmed into the upper 80s to lower 90s

accompanied by partly cloudy skies. Dry conditions are forecast to

continue overnight with lows dropping into the mid 60s. Mostly

clear skies and light winds will allow a low chance for a few 

areas of patchy fog development- particularly areas that received 

rainfall yesterday as well as sheltered valleys and along large 

bodies of water. However, confidence is low due to lack of

moisture in the area. If any fog manages to be realized, it should

dissipate shortly after sunrise.

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.

(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.
