050 FXUS64 KHUN 030447 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 1147 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .NEAR TERM... (Rest of tonight and Thursday) Issued at 956 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley tonight with the only weather of note being a few bands of high cirrus passing overhead. With high pressure building in from the north, calm and mostly clear conditions are forecast overnight. Dewpoints in the mid 60s will allow for a fairly comfortable night (by early July standards) -- allowing temperatures to fall into the 65-70 degree range by early Thursday morning. Expect a similar setup during the day on Thursday, with ample sunshine allowing temperatures to climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s. With a somewhat drier air mass in place, RH values should fall to between 45-50 percent, making for a fairly comfortable afternoon despite the seasonably warm temperatures. && .SHORT TERM... (Thursday night through Saturday) Issued at 956 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 A broad subtropical ridge will remain in place Friday (4th of July) and Saturday, promoting mostly sunny, warm, and dry conditions for the the upcoming holiday weekend. Ample sunshine and winds veering back to the south should allow for highs to creep back up into the low to mid 90s both days. With dewpoints also creeping back into the lower 70s, heat may begin to become a little more a concern -- with peak heat index values around 100 degrees being common both days. Those with outdoor plans for holiday festivities should use caution sense and follow good heat safety practices. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through Wednesday) Issued at 956 PM CDT Wed Jul 2 2025 The ridge will shift ever so slightly to the east early next week, but remain the dominant weather feature across the region through at least Monday. Very low (10-20%) chance for a few diurnally driven showers and storms were introduced Sunday and Monday, but most locations will remain hot/dry, with highs remaining in the low to mid 90s. A weak frontal boundary may begin to approach the area Tuesday into Wednesday, with PoPs increasing to 30-40% mainly focused during the afternoon and evening hours. Other than some additional cloud cover, expect plenty of sunshine and the heat to persist, with highs again remaining in the low to mid 90s. && .AVIATION...
