.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.
