After a chilly weekend, conditions will improve today and temperatures should climb back into the 60’s for afternoon highs. The warm up will intensify on Tuesday with the middle 70’s back on the table and a strong front is likely to result in showers and thunderstorms at mid-week. Some of those mid-week thunderstorms can be on the strong-to-severe side in the Tennessee Valley.

Today will be an active weather day in the Deep South with a high probability of severe weather across portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Deepening low pressure will move northeast on Tuesday from Texas toward Iowa bringing us the good chance for PM showers and perhaps some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity. A key to the chances for severe weather in this region will be the movement of a warm front during the day….the farther to the north the warm air pushes, the farther to the north will be the chance for severe thunderstorm activity. Some of the rain later today and early tonight will be heavy at times as a cold front pushes towards the region.

Spring season has begun and with it comes the threat of severe weather across much of the southern US during the next few days. Many ingredients are coming together for a severe weather event later today and tonight that will be focused on the central and eastern parts of Texas and this threat zone will shift slightly to the east on Tuesday encompassing the region from Louisiana-to-Mississippi-to-Alabama. A primary culprit in this unfolding scenario is an expansive upper-level trough whose base is now centered over the Southwest US and will shift only slightly to the east on Tuesday. In addition, there is a clash of air masses setting up in this part of the nation with cold, dry air sweeping eastward from the southwestern states into a very warm and humid air mass out ahead of it over the eastern half of Texas.

Some of the rain later tomorrow can be on the heavy side as a cold front pushes towards the region and we’ll have to watch out for the possibility of severe weather going into tomorrow night.

Active weather is in store for the Tennessee Valley region on a couple of occasions going forward and it includes the chance for severe weather. First, there is the threat for scattered thunderstorms around here this morning as an upper-level trough pushes through the region and then another round of storms is likely this afternoon and evening with the passage of a cold front. Any storm this afternoon and evening can be on the strong-to-severe side and isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out. A stronger storm will move from the Central Plains from next Tuesday into Wednesday and there is the potential for heavy rainfall and strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.

High pressure will edge into the Tennessee Valley today generating some dry and warm conditions with highs in the lower 70’s. The nice weather will be short-lived; however, as an upper-level trough shifts this way on Friday from the middle of the country. This system will raise the chances here for some shower and thunderstorm activity as we close out the work week. In the wake of this system, high pressure returns this weekend and should control the weather through Monday.
