316 AM MDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Satellite imagery showed our region under a weak W/NW mid level flow with high pressure dominating the SW CONUS. Today some energy tracking from Canada to the Dakotas will push a weak cold front into our area. Temps will turn a little cooler in the afternoon in all but the very southern zones with readings from the lower 70s north to the lower 80s in SE MT. We will be dry Saturday and not as breezy, but it will be cooler with highs mainly 70-75 degrees.
440 AM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Today and Tonight: In the wake of a cold front passing through the region, dry post- frontal air may be a cause for celebration as we head into the first weekend of summer! High pressure at the surface and building heights aloft as a ridge moves east along the Gulf Coast should keep skies mostly clear. Don't expect too much in the way of "cooler" afternoon temps as the light northerly wind won't be enough to negate the direct June sunshine, but afternoon humidity only in the 30 to 40 percent range will be followed up by overnight lows in the lower to mid 60s.
1032 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Dry conditions are forecast through Saturday as high pressure builds over the region.
Prater Previous Discussion: /Today through Saturday Afternoon/ Expect a much anticipated quiet end to the week across North and Central Texas as upper level ridging builds in atop the Southern Plains. While a cut-off low near Baja Mexico swinging up towards the Desert Southwest will shift the upper ridge center a bit eastward on Saturday, North and Central Texas will still be under its influence.
630 AM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Today through Saturday Night) The short term forecast will continue to be a dry quiet one with high pressure as the main weather feature. Ridging aloft will be shifting east (from far W TX) across SE TX and then the northern Gulf coast these next couple of days. Highs are going to be in the lower to mid 90s each day with lows in the lower to mid 70s.
- Additional on and off chances for showers and non-severe storms this weekend - More of an active trend into the work week, with temperatures becoming very warm by mid-late week A very quiet morning across Iowa to start the day, with an area of high pressure sitting overhead. Total rainfall amounts continue to vary given some slight differences in the track of this system in terms of where the heaviest rain may fall, with totals generally under an inch and the highest values occurring near or just south of the IA/MO border.
1208 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Today through Saturday) The cold front this morning is current just across the northern counties of Alabama but will begin to slide south through the night and into Friday afternoon. As we move through the afternoon, high pressure build in and will be in place through Saturday. Highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s each day, with Saturday being the warmer of the two.
(Tonight) Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley as a dry air mass remains in place with high pressure at the surface promoting a clear sky.
224 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2024 A weak cold front will continue moving southward through Southwest Montana through this evening, with a re-enforcing cold front surging south across the entire Northern Rockies Saturday afternoon and evening.
(Rest of today through Saturday) Dry high pressure has been moving into Middle TN today.
(This evening through Saturday) The center of upper level high pressure will slowly move east, bringing the region into weak southwest flow aloft Saturday. West Central Texas, however, will still be dominated by the upper high pressure with warm and dry conditions.
EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 In the wake of the exiting cold front, weak high pressure will move in with less humid air for the weekend.
136 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Conditions will be cooler, breezy and pleasant heading into the weekend with low humidity.
1232 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Rest of today through Saturday) Dry high pressure has been moving into Middle TN today.
/29 (Now through Saturday) A broad upper ridge over the south central states and 4-Corners region shifts eastward to become centered mostly over the northern Gulf states and much of the Gulf. Dry conditions follow for tonight and Saturday as the upper ridge builds into the region along with progressively drier air, precluding the potential for convective development. Lows tonight range from the lower 60s well inland to around 70/lower 70s at the immediate coast.
(Tonight through Saturday night) Rain-free conditions and slightly above normal temperatures will persist across Deep South Texas as the region remains under the influence of the mid-level ridge. However, the mid-level ridge will weaken slightly and will result in high temperatures around a degree or two lower than Friday afternoon.
Cloud streamers north of the Lower Keys have attempted to develop showers, but have really struggled and puttered out quickly. GOES Visible Satellite is highlighting a reverse cloud attempting to develop along the Lower Keys. Ample moisture will remain in place across the region through Saturday, however, some drier air will filter into the region as a mid level ridge builds across the Gulf.
/NEW/ /Through Saturday/ Seasonable heat and humidity is in store heading into the weekend as upper ridging builds overhead. Convective activity on the outer periphery of the ridge will stay well removed from the forecast area through the next 36 hours with strong subsidence overhead locally.
303 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Dry weather will continue tonight as high pressure persists.
Showers and storms are expected to form off the high plains this afternoon, then make their way as a complex south toward our forecast area this evening.
(This afternoon through Saturday night) WV imagery shows the upper ridge centered over Texas and New Mexico this afternoon, buttressed by a trough off the coast of Baja del Sur. Diurnal heating and upslope flow will hopefully develop convection out over the higher terrain this afternoon/tonight, bringing a little relief to drought- stricken areas there. Saturday, although the ridge is forecast to shift to the Gulf coast, thicknesses won't move much, and afternoon highs will look very similar to today. Diurnally-driven orographic convection is once again anticipated, only this activity may edge a little farther out onto the plains with the shifting of the ridge to the coast. This will also allow the Baja trough to move inland, making it's presence felt all the more here.
136 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 High pressure will build into the area through tonight, bringing dry but slightly below normal temperatures.
(Tonight through Saturday night) Mid-level high pressure is in control through the entirety of the short term forecast.
The 19Z MSAS surface analysis showed a weak area of high pressure that extended from ND to the Upper Midwest. Max temperatures to continue running below normal with readings in the lower 60s along Lake MI, mainly upper 60s inland.
1155 AM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Today and tonight) High pressure and continued southerly flow will keep hot and dry conditions over much of West Central Texas today. Afternoon high temperatures today are expected to reach into the mid 90s to 102, with overnight lows tonight only falling into the low to mid 70s.
(This evening through Saturday) Current water vapor imagery shows the upper level ridge and associated high pressure system over portions of West Texas this afternoon. Otherwise, the short term forecast looks to remain hot and dry as the center of the upper level ridge moves over the South Plains region early this weekend. Precipitation chances begin to increase as we head into the evening and overnight hours on Saturday as the center of the upper level ridge shifts eastward and disturbances in the flow aloft prevail.
A quick look on satellite and it's easy to see where the cold front is over Georgia right now.
/Issued 1256 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024/ /Through Saturday/ Seasonable heat and humidity is in store heading into the weekend as upper ridging builds overhead. Convective activity on the outer periphery of the ridge will stay well removed from the forecast area through the next 36 hours with strong subsidence overhead locally.
1227 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Today through Saturday Night) The short term forecast will continue to be a dry quiet one with high pressure as the main weather feature. Ridging aloft will be shifting east (from far W TX) across SE TX and then the northern Gulf coast these next couple of days. Highs are going to be in the lower to mid 90s each day with lows in the lower to mid 70s.
143 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Cooler and drier tonight and Saturday under high pressure.
1118 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Increasing clouds today as a closed low moves overhead resulting in additional areas of showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms. Even cooler, breezy, and mostly cloudy conditions return for Saturday with some enhanced lake effect and scattered diurnal driven rain showers. As of 11am, the leading edge of our upper level closed low and associated upper level cold pool is intruding into the Mohawk Valley and southern Adirondacks and will continue progressing eastward through the next few hours. Cooler temperatures only topping out around 70 in the higher terrain of the southern Adirondacks and southern Greens. There is an increasing agreement in sources of guidance/ensembles for a small upper ridge in our region much of Saturday, between the exiting upper closed low and trailing upper energy in Canada and the Great Lakes.
145 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 In the wake of the exiting cold front, weak high pressure will move in with less humid air for the weekend.
Issued by National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1242 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 A ridge of high pressure will bring rain free weather and less humid air to the Mid-South through Saturday morning. Humidity will increase on Saturday as southerly winds on the back side of high pressure return to the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Low temperatures tonight will be mild, mainly in the low to mid 70s. Dew points in the low to perhaps mid 70s will result in heat indices nearing or exceeding 100F for much of the area.
137 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Dry through Saturday as high pressure builds over the region.
120 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 In the wake of the exiting cold front, high pressure will move in with less humid air for the weekend.
1230 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Today through Saturday) Key Messages: - Not quite as hot and plenty of sunshine! High pressure will continue building south across the region through the short term with ample sunshine and slightly drier conditions. Another perk of the high pressure is that it will help to clear out the haze that has been sticking around for what feels like an eternity.
Broad upper ridging, anchored over the Arklatex region, will remain in place across the deep south through the period while a potent upper low shifts east from the Great Lakes region. For tomorrow, most all guidance shows and MCS forming over the central plains tonight and riding the periphery of the ridge eastwards into Kentucky late tonight into tomorrow.
A weak cold front will push into the area from the northwest, so cannot rule out widely scattered showers/thunder during the afternoon/evening, but think most locations will remain dry.
The weather today will be mostly ridge-y, but a weak wave in Nevada will bring unsettled conditions to far SE Oregon and the ID-NV border. Storms may produce heavy rain and gusty outflow winds, with the highest confidence for outflow winds along the ID-NV border and southern Twin Falls county. Although, there has been some variability in the high forecast for Saturday so a few locations could end up warmer than expected.
(Rest of Today) Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley this morning with high pressure in control and a dry post frontal air mass that has settled in.
200 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Slightly cooler but still above normal temperatures over the weekend. - Slightly cooler this weekend with just some localized Moderate HeatRisk, mainly over the northern and central Sacramento Valley.
Surface obs have shown a strengthening trough of low pressure in the lee of the central rockies. This is expected to be the beginnings of an MCS later tonight and most guidance shows the nose of the low level jet and strongest theta-e advection focused over far northeast KS. However the low level jet is not nearly as strong and veered more to the southwest. If the low level jet was stronger, there would be better confidence in severe storms.
(This evening through Saturday Night) With the high pressure over our area, expect some more hot and dry weather for both today and tomorrow.
1102 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Conditions will be cooler, breezy and pleasant heading into the weekend with low humidity.
1147 AM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Rest of Today) Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley this morning with high pressure in control and a dry post frontal air mass that has settled in.
Only noticeable change tomorrow, post-frontal passage, will be a relative drop in dew points, with areas in SE AL and SW GA dipping into mid to upper 50s dews, and inland FL areas dipping into the low 60s dews.
300 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Conditions will be cooler, breezy and pleasant heading into the weekend with low humidity.
Sunny skies prevail across central Illinois this morning courtesy of high pressure anchored over the Plains. Afternoon highs will top out in the lower 80s. Barnes Water vapor imagery early this morning shows a deep upper trough centered over the Northern Great Lakes Region, with northwest flow positioned over the Midwest states. Gusts between 25 and 35 mph seem reasonable, with the highest probabilities for 30 mph or greater gusts being near/north of I-74.
MCS expected to come off the High Plains Sat and affect much of the area Sat night. - Cooler for the Sun-Tue time frame. Currently have upper ridging from West TX into NM with an upper low over central Saskatchewan with west/northwest flow aloft over the Plains. At the surface, lee troughing is continuing to intensify with high pressure over the Lower Mississippi Valley. Cold front, reinforced by outflow, will push south on Sat, and by the late afternoon hours will be situated from southern MO generally across or just south of the KS/OK border. Confidence is increasing that convection will develop over the High Plains of eastern CO/far western KS Sat afternoon in a great upslope setup.
(Now through Saturday) A broad upper ridge over the south central states and 4-Corners region shifts eastward to become centered mostly over the northern Gulf states and much of the Gulf. Dry conditions follow for tonight and Saturday as the upper ridge builds into the region along with progressively drier air, precluding the potential for convective development. Lows tonight range from the lower 60s well inland to around 70/lower 70s at the immediate coast.
Issued by National Weather Service Little Rock AR 203 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through next Friday) High pressure is currently moving over the mid-south this Fri afternoon. This high pressure will slide east tonight into Sat. POPs look to remain on the low side on the SRN/SERN sections of the area into Sat afternoon. flow aloft will be NW over the region with an upper trough over the ERN CONUS.
Ridging over the Pacific Northwest will continue to bring pleasant and dry conditions into Saturday. Highs reach into the 80s across western Montana and low 90s for the lowest elevations of north-central Idaho.
1132 AM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 High pressure will build in from the southwest today and linger into Saturday.
High pressure will gradually break down this weekend as a trough approaches the West Coast.
146 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Cooler and drier tonight and Saturday under high pressure.
(This evening through Saturday Night) Quiet weather is expected to continue over the next 36-hours, as high pressure ebb and flows off to our west. Due to this ridge, winds will continue to hover between 5-10 MPH in the afternoon, with very limited to speak of in the cloud department as well.
350 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Isolated showers and thunderstorms continue near the coast this evening as the cold front and sea breeze interact. The front will be pushed offshore tonight with dry high pressure building in for Saturday.
- Slightly cooler temperatures with relatively light winds for the upcoming weekend. - Periodic chances for showers and storms heading into the new week, with temperatures forecast to rise near/above seasonal norms as upper level ridging builds across the western CONUS. CURRENT THROUGH TONIGHT: Dreary conditions continue across the region, with latest observations showing cloudy skies, scattered showers, and temperatures in the low to mid 70s.
Temperatures are in the lower to middle 90s for most locations and dewpoints have begun to mix out which is something we have not seen too much of yet this summer. Lows will be back in the lower to middle 70s for most locations with some upper 70s near the Rio Grande. With continued high pressure, tomorrow will be very similar to today with similar dewpoints. Could see a possible return of a decent coverage of nocturnal status tomorrow night and with that lows could have been a bit warmer.
611 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through Saturday Night) Quiet weather is expected to continue over the next 36-hours, as high pressure ebb and flows off to our west. Due to this ridge, winds will continue to hover between 5-10 MPH in the afternoon, with very limited to speak of in the cloud department as well.
The only change to the forecast this evening was a slight northward pull of PoPs tomorrow (Saturday) evening, as recent iterations of various 00z HREF members show thunderstorms developing along the southward-moving cold front. A weak cold front will push into the area from the northwest, so cannot rule out widely scattered showers/thunder during the afternoon/evening, but think most locations will remain dry.
(Tonight) Clear/quiet conditions prevail across the mid TN Valley this Fri evening, as high pressure gradually settles eastward into the region.
540 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Aviation Section Updated A weak cold front will continue moving southward through Southwest Montana through this evening, with a re-enforcing cold front surging south across the entire Northern Rockies Saturday afternoon and evening.
An upper level trough is approaching the area. This is keeping temperatures a few degrees cooler in much of the area, especially Mendocino and Lake counties. The CAMS are showing some light showers or thunderstorms developing mainly over the higher terrain north of Hwy 299 this afternoon or evening. Saturday temperatures inland will be cooler than today, likely around 90 degrees which is near the seasonal normals in the warmer valleys. The marine clouds may take their time to clear in the morning at the coast, but the cooler air aloft should weaken the inversion and expect they will finally clear.
/NEW/ Update: Only 3 words sum up this short term forecast- "High Pressure Rules!!!" The current forecast is in super shape and no major changes are needed at this time (see discussion below). 79 Previous Discussion: /Through Saturday/ Seasonable heat and humidity is in store heading into the weekend as upper ridging builds overhead. Convective activity on the outer periphery of the ridge will stay well removed from the forecast area through the next 36 hours with strong subsidence overhead locally.
644 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Rest of today through Saturday) Dry high pressure has been moving into Middle TN today.
600 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Tonight) Tranquil weather across the Tennessee Valley as a dry air mass remains in place with high pressure at the surface promoting a clear sky.
620 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through Saturday Night) With the high pressure over our area, expect some more hot and dry weather for both today and tomorrow.
643 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through Saturday) Current water vapor imagery shows the upper level ridge and associated high pressure system over portions of West Texas this afternoon. Otherwise, the short term forecast looks to remain hot and dry as the center of the upper level ridge moves over the South Plains region early this weekend. Precipitation chances begin to increase as we head into the evening and overnight hours on Saturday as the center of the upper level ridge shifts eastward and disturbances in the flow aloft prevail.
High pressure will bring hot temperatures today and then a few degrees above normal through the weekend. Visible satellite imagery this afternoon showed partly to locally mostly cloudy conditions east of Kearny to San Sasabe line while water vapor imagery showed upper low off the srn Baja coast. A mixed bag in the afternoon temperatures, as of 2 pm, with most areas 1-4 degrees warmer than yesterday while a few areas, especially across Cochise county, where this is more cloud cover, were running 2 to 4 degrees cooler than yesterday. This weekend will be cooler then Thu/Fri thanks to lower low-level thickness values as the Baja upper low slowly moves toward the area.
755 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Dry weather will continue tonight as high pressure persists.
609 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through Saturday) The center of upper level high pressure will slowly move east, bringing the region into weak southwest flow aloft Saturday. West Central Texas, however, will still be dominated by the upper high pressure with warm and dry conditions.
1052 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 A cold front will move across the area tonight.
Satellite imagery is showing some cumulus building across the higher terrain of southern Oregon and northern California before being dislodged from the mountains and continuing to grow. Some of these clouds are beginning to build up to high enough levels for freezing to occur, especially across northern Klamath and Lake Counties, and thunderstorms may occur later this afternoon and evening. This thunderstorm pattern is part of our overarching ridge of high pressure across the Pacific Northwest and associated thermal trough which has moved inland today. Temperatures will trend cooler and humidities will trend higher beginning Saturday as the ridge breaks down and is replaced by a trough pushing through the Gulf of Alaska. This ridge breakdown will also continue to mean thunderstorm chances for the next couple of afternoons and evenings-- particularly for areas east of the Cascades and northeast of Mt.
800 PM MDT Fri Jun 7 2024 A weak cold front will continue moving southward through Southwest Montana through this evening, with a re-enforcing cold front surging south across the entire Northern Rockies Saturday afternoon and evening.
Dew points in the low to perhaps mid 70s will result in heat indices nearing or exceeding 100F for much of the area.
630 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Tonight through Saturday night) Mid-level high pressure is in control through the entirety of the short term forecast.
603 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Weak high pressure builds in to our south tonight through Saturday.
729 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Isolated showers and thunderstorms continue near the coast this evening as the cold front and sea breeze interact. The front will be pushed offshore tonight with dry high pressure building in for Saturday.
Temperatures have climbed into the low to mid 70s so far this afternoon. Most of us should see showers overnight, but rainfall totals will be light with values between a few hundredths to a quarter inch on the high end. Clearing skies will support high temperatures into the low to mid 70s.
616 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Tonight through Saturday night) Rain-free conditions and slightly above normal temperatures will persist across Deep South Texas as the region remains under the influence of the mid-level ridge. However, the mid-level ridge will weaken slightly and will result in high temperatures around a degree or two lower than Friday afternoon.
1011 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Isolated showers and thunderstorms continue near the coast this evening as the cold front and sea breeze interact. The front will be pushed offshore tonight with dry high pressure building in for Saturday.
