The Tennessee Valley is in store for another somewhat unsettled, hot and humid day ahead of an incoming frontal system, but the remainder of the week will feature a downward trend in temperatures. Highs today should reach the 90 degree mark in northern Alabama, but will be confined to the mid and upper 80’s for much of the second half of the week. As upper-level trough deepens in the south-central states, the daily chance for showers and thunderstorms around here will continue right into the upcoming weekend.

The overall weather pattern is shaping up to feature cooler weather in the eastern US where temperatures will be well below-normal at times in coming days and very hot weather in the western US where numerous record highs will be challenged. A large upper-level trough of low pressure will extend from eastern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week at the same time high pressure ridging will intensify over the Southwest US. The transition to the cooler weather in the eastern US has come about with plenty of rainfall and the buildup of heat in the western US has come with an increase in wildfire activity that often ramps up during this time of year.

The Tennessee Valley is in store for more unsettled weather during the next few days as an upper-level trough of low pressure intensifies overhead. This system will not only help to generate scattered-to-numerous showers and thunderstorms across northern Alabama, it’ll keep a lid on temperatures that should peak at 90 degrees or slightly lower through the weekend. Elsewhere, another tropical storm has formed, “Josephine”, but it should encounter unfavorable environmental conditions and weaken before it ever has a chance from reaching the southeastern US.

The Tennessee Valley is in store for unsettled, hot and humid for the remainder of the week with a daily shot at showers and thunderstorms. In fact, the rain chances will be quite high today as a short wave pushes into the region and given the high available moisture content, any rain that falls can be heavy at times. A repeat performance is likely tomorrow with scattered-to-numerous showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures remain quite hot through the week with highs generally in the low-to-mid 90’s.

High pressure will take control of the weather around here and the result will be an increase in the heat over the next few days. In fact, temperatures are likely to reach the lower 90’s for highs this afternoon and then the middle 90’s on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. This ridge of high pressure will also reduce the chance for showers and thunderstorms as we head through the weekend, but that threat will climb once again early next week. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Basin tropical scene looks rather quiet and should stay so for the next several days. One final note, the annual Perseid meteor shower will peak next week…best to look for meteors in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

High pressure will generally take control of the weather around here for the next few days and result in hotter conditions as we end the work week and progress through the upcoming weekend. In fact, temperatures are likely to reach the low-to-mid 90’s for highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and likely Monday and Tuesday as well. This ridge of high pressure, however will not eliminate the chance of showers and thunderstorms as a weak upper-level disturbance can set off some scattered activity each of the next few afternoons and evenings. On the tropical scene, it appears that there will be a lull in the action in the Atlantic Basin for the next several days.

On the tropical scene, it appears that there will be a lull in the action in the Atlantic Basin after the departure late yesterday of “Isaias” from the continental US. The 2020 tropical season in the Atlantic has gotten off to a very active start.
