Issued at 216 AM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Upper level ridging that expands from the Great Lakes down to the
MS Valley remains anchored in place while Hurricane Imelda
continues to slide northeastward off into the Atlantic. A
disturbance that slid down the Appalachians will finish moving
through the TN Valley today. Would not rule out a slight chance
(10%) of a shower this afternoon mainly in NW AL where a weak
boundary will also be present. Otherwise, patchy fog may develop
in the valleys and near bodies of water this morning. If you
encounter any fog, remember to slow down and not use your high
beam headlights.
As for temps, highs will remain above seasonal norms as they
climb into the mid to upper 80s this afternoon under mostly sunny
skies. For reference, normal highs for the start of October is 82
degrees at MSL and HSV.

Upper ridging and the aforementioned high will enforce a cooler
and drier airmass into the late-week period as highs drop to the
upper 70s/lower 80s across much of the area Thursday and Friday. A
weak disturbance is progged to develop near the Gulf Coast late
this week but any resulting showers/storms should be suppressed
well south of the area. With that in mind, will maintain dry PoPs
through Friday with sunny skies and light easterly winds. With
the drier air in place and lack of recent rainfall, fog should
become less likely each night.

(Friday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 1015 PM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025
Surface high pressure situated along the coastal Mid Atlantic region
will provide an easterly flow across the Tennessee Valley into the
upcoming weekend. Under generally clear skies, seasonably mild to
warm condition are expected. Cool low temperatures Friday night will
range in the 50s. Highs both Sat/Sun should rise into the low/mid 80s
both days. Milder night lows are forecast Sat/Sun nights with lows in
the lower 60s.
An easterly flow rounding the high along the east coast, will become
more from the SE during Sun, Mon, Tue. This will begin to tap lower
level moisture from the Gulf and Atlantic, with an increase of clouds
as we go into the next week. This will return rain chances to the
area beginning Monday. With daytime heating and higher instability,
some thunder is possible in the afternoon and evening hours with this
activity. High temperatures the first part of next work week should
range in the lower 80s, with lows in 60s.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 631 AM CDT Wed Oct 1 2025
Fog is currently pushing MSL into IFR, but after 14Z, expect VFR
conditions to prevail til the end of the TAF period. Will not rule
out a shower or two this afternoon at MSL but coverage and
confidence is too low to include it at this time. HSV will be VFR
through the TAF period.
