A weak shortwave has progressed into the Mississippi Valley,
bringing 1-3 inches of rainfall in portions of NW AL early this
morning. Dry conditions have returned, however, CAMs are hinting
at some scattered redevelopment of showers/storms over portions of
northern AL late this afternoon into the evening. Therefore, have
increased PoPs today to 10% as confidence remains low. Otherwise,
mostly sunny conditions should prevail with highs reaching the
mid 80s to low 90s under the influence of an upper level ridge.
Tonight, temperatures are forecast to drop into the low to mid 60s
with dry conditions.

Through the week, we will remain in a blocking pattern as low
pressure lingers off the Southeast Coast coupled with a ridge
continuing to stretch across the Great Lakes as low pressure in
the northern Plains attempts to shift eastward. As this continues,
conditions throughout the Tennessee Valley should remain mostly
dry. Highs during this time are forecast to reach the mid 80s to
low 90s, with a gradual warming pattern through the week.
Overnight lows are forecast to drop into the low to mid 60s. While
heat indices are forecast to remain in the upper 80s to mid 90s,
action should still be taken to mitigate heat exhaustion. Be sure
to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks if working outdoors, and
never leave any pets or people in vehicles.

The blocking pattern will finally break down during the latter
half of the work week as the Mid Atlantic low weakens and lifts
northward. High pressure will keep conditions dry for Thursday,
but low chances of showers and storms return on Friday and into
the weekend as the other trough in the blocking pattern slides
into the Plains. Its surface low will lift into the Midwest, with
the associated cold front sliding into the Mid MS Valley. At this
time, it doesn`t look like the front will make it into the TN
Valley but stay close enough to keep a low chance (20-30%) in the
forecast through the weekend. Warmer than normal highs will linger
into Saturday with temps in the upper 80s to lower 90s. They will
cool a tad on Saturday, remaining below 90 degrees.
