New AVIATION

SHORT TERM
(Rest of today through Sunday)
Issued at 1114 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Most of the rain has cleared the area late this morning with just a small band of showers across the Upper Cumberland. Satellite imagery does show some breaks in the clouds which should make for a nice rest of the day as temperatures warm into the upper 70's or low 80's. Overall, a quiet weekend still looks to be in store despite the active pattern setting up to our west. This is thanks to upper-level ridging building overhead, keeping the area dry and warm. High temperatures are expected to warm into the low to mid-80's each afternoon Saturday and Sunday. Winds will be gusty, especially on Saturday, thanks to a decent pressure gradient between the trough to our west and the ridging to our east. Winds should stay below advisory criteria though with gusts of 20-30 mph with perhaps occasional gusts near 35 mph.

LONG TERM
(Monday through next Friday)
Issued at 1114 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

The upper-level ridge shifts farther east to start the new week, allowing for a weak shortwave and front to track through the area. This will bring rain and some thunderstorms into the area Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Severe potential still looks low with marginal CAPE, poor lapse rates, and little wind shear.

The remainder of the week looks to be unsettled as a large upper- level low moves across the northern Great Plains and into the Great Lakes area. This feature should push a cold front through the area late in the week. Lots of uncertainty remains regarding this though, especially on timing. But rain and thunderstorm chances have been maintained Wednesday through Friday. Mid-80 temperatures through the week should cool slightly late in the week behind the cold front.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 618 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

While flight categories will remain VFR through the TAF cycle, it will be breezy. Mainly south winds will gust 20-25 kts through most of the cycle.
