Despite a large area of surface high pressure over the Southeast US, there will be the threat of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and for the next several days. In addition, the heat and humidity will be quite noticeable over the next few days with highs in the 90’s on a daily basis. This hot and humid weather pattern is likely to last well into next week.

A weak frontal system will be close enough in proximity today to generate an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms as our first extended stretch of summer weather continues around here. In fact, temperatures should reach 90 degrees or higher for afternoon highs each of the next several days. Another frontal system is likely to help generate some showers and thunderstorms in this region as we head into the upcoming weekend.

Zonal flow aloft (i.e., west-to-east) will develop today and Wednesday across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys with high pressure building at the surface. This type of flow of air will diminish somewhat our chances for showers and thunderstorms for the next couple of days, but temperatures should have a relatively easy time of it reaching or surpassing the 90 degree mark for afternoon highs.

The overall weather pattern tends to change somewhat as we begin a new week with and upper-level trough moving east over the Great Lakes and a frontal system is likely to arrive in this area late today. As a result, there can be a shower or thunderstorm during the PM hours as temperatures climb into the mid and upper 80’s. Zonal flow aloft (west-to-east) will take over on Tuesday and this may bring less of a threat for showers and thunderstorms with daily highs likely near the 90 degree mark.

Seasonably warm weather conditions will end the work week in the Tennessee Valley with high temperatures likely to reach the 90 degree mark for highs. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will be slight today, but will increase somewhat by the latter stages of the weekend. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Basin tropical scene is still looking rather quiet as we head towards the latter part of June.

The overall weather pattern will change somewhat in coming days and allow for hotter conditions in the Tennessee Valley and a somewhat reduced chance at showers and thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday. Temperatures today will climb to the 90 degree mark for highs and then into the 90’s on Friday and Saturday. Any thunderstorm that does form later today can produce some heavy rainfall given the high humidity in place and potentially damaging wind gusts.

The wet weather pattern continues for the remainder of the week in much of the eastern half of the nation. A stalled out frontal boundary zone just to our north will result in unsettled weather across northern Alabama during the next few days. A series of upper-level waves of energy will move along the stalled out frontal boundary zone and generate bands of showers and thunderstorms around here and some of the storms can be on the strong side. Any shower or thunderstorm in this pattern can produce some heavy rainfall and – given the already well saturated grounds – localized flooding continues to be a concern.

High pressure will remain entrenched across the area on Friday and Saturday and temperatures will bounce back to near 90 degrees by Saturday afternoon after a rather comfortable end to the work week. As the high pushes to the east of here on Sunday, our low-level winds will take on more of a southwesterly direction and pump in more moisture. The added moisture will combine with multiple short waves during the early and middle parts of next week to bring back a daily threat for showers and thunderstorms.
