Tropical Storm Bertha came ashore yesterday in South Carolina and indications are that the early start to the 2020 Atlantic Basin tropical season will continue as we transition into the first half of June. There are signs that a tropical storm or hurricane may form in the Gulf of Mexico region late next week or during the second week of June and we’ll continue to monitor those prospects. In the short term, copious amounts of moisture in the eastern third of the nation continues to flow northward from the tropics on the backside of a strong western Atlantic high pressure system. The threat of scattered showers and thunderstorms continues today. today and tomorrow in the Tennessee Valley and any storm can contain heavy rainfall and gusty winds. The weekend, however, should turn out to be rain-free and comfortably warm with highs on both days near the 80 degree mark.

In fact, the storms are liable to become more numerous in nature on Sunday and Monday (Memorial Day) with any storm likely to produce brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Temperatures all through this unsettled period will be summer-like with highs each day well up in the 80’s.

An unsettled weather pattern will continue today in the Tennessee Valley as a slow-moving upper-level low continues to have an impact on the region. This system will destabilize the atmosphere enough for scattered showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis into week’s end. By the end of the week, the overall pattern will evolve into a summer-like one and highs on Friday and both weekend days should be in the mid-to-upper 80's.

The overall pattern evolves into a summer-like one by the end of the week and highs on Friday and both days this weekend will be in the mid-to-upper 80's.

An unsettled week is headed to the Tennessee Valley as a slow-moving upper-level low will meander over the area for the next several days. This system will increase the chances for showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis as we progress through the week and some of the storms that form can be on the strong side. Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Arthur will impact the Outer Banks of North Carolina today and then curve to the east on Tuesday and out-to-sea. This is the first official tropical system of the 2020 Atlantic Basin season.

The Tennessee Valley will remain on the western periphery of an upper-level ridge of high pressure both today and on Saturday and this will keep us quite warm with highs well up in the 80’s. In fact, the warmest day in the next few is liable to Sunday when temperatures peak in the upper 80’s ahead of an incoming upper-level trough. Meanwhile, low pressure will develop over the Bahamas this weekend and will slowly intensify as it makes a move to the northeast over the relatively warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic. This system may end up being classified as the first official “tropical” system of the 2020 Atlantic Basin tropical season.

The east coast of the US will be an interesting area to monitor over the next week or so in terms of the weather as we’ll see a tropical system just east of Florida in the near term and then perhaps a coastal low by the end of next week which could impact the Mid-Atlantic. Low pressure is now forming over the Florida Straits and it’ll intensify over the next 24-48 hours as it makes a move to the northeast over the relatively warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. This system may come uncomfortably close to the US east coast in coming days and may play a role in the development of a coastal low by the end of next week in the Mid-Atlantic region.
