Discussion

A major warm up will really get cranking today across the Tennessee Valley as high pressure builds into the eastern US at all levels of the atmosphere. Temperatures over the next few days should climb well into the 80’s for highs with Thursday afternoon perhaps featuring the peak of this warm spell not far from the 90 degree mark in some spots. A cool front could spark a round of showers and thunderstorms at the end of the work week and it’ll turn a bit cooler this weekend following the frontal passage. Elsewhere, it has been a slow tornado season so far this year across the central Plains, but there could be an outbreak of severe weather on Wednesday as a clash develops in that part of the country between warm, humid advancing northward from the Gulf of Mexico air and cold air sliding eastward across the southwestern US.
