High pressure ridging in the eastern US will support very warm conditions around here in the Tennessee valley for much of the week. At the same time very warm air dominates the eastern US, very chilly air for this time of year will dive into the western US. The result of this clash of cold air to the west and warm air to the east is likely to result in a widespread severe weather outbreak during the mid-week in the central Plains. We’ll monitor this unfolding pattern to see if any severe weather can make it into the local region later in the week.

A frontal boundary zone will approach the Tennessee Valley today raising our chances for showers and thunderstorms during the mid-day and afternoon hours. Some of the storms later today can be on the strong-to-severe side with gusty winds and hail. The weekend will feature improving weather conditions following the frontal passage and Mother’s Day should turn out to be quite a pleasant day with plenty of sunshine and warm conditions. By the time the middle of next week rolls around, there will be much warmer-than-normal air in the eastern US and very chilly air for this time of year across the western US. As a result, there is likely to be a widespread severe weather outbreak in the "clash zone" (central Plains) around the middle of next week and we’ll monitor any potential impact around here from this unfolding scenario.
