DISCUSSION:
At 3 PM skies are fair in Cullman. The temperature is 73 degrees. The dewpoint is 55 degrees, making the relative humidity 53%. Winds are from the Southwest at 9 miles per hour, with gusts up to 20 mph. The pressure is 29.89 inches and falling slowly. The Low temperature this morning was 46 degrees.
Skies are mostly cloudy in Huntsville with a temperature of 74. The dewpoint is 54, making the relative humidity 50%. Winds are Southwest at 14 mph, gusting up to 24 mph. The pressure is 29.85 inches/1010.5 millibars and falling. The Low this morning was 46.
It is overcast in Pulaski with a temperature of 73 degrees. The dewpoint is 59, making the relative humidity 61%. Winds are Southwest at 14 mph, gusting to 22. The pressure is 29.82 inches and falling. The Low temp this morning was 43.
In Nashville, it is partly cloudy. The temperature is 77 degrees. The dewpoint is 56, making the relative humidity 48%. Winds are from the Southwest at 12 miles per hour, with gusts up to 28 mph.

We have a cold front approaching from the Midwest, although it is expected to be a dry one. We have clouds in the region, especially up into Tennessee, but a lot of those are cirrus (really high clouds, the wispy kind made out of ice crystals). And overall we’ve got sunshine and just a bit of a breeze. The upper-level 500 millibar map shows steep Northwest wind flow aloft.
This morning’s radiosonde soundings from Birmingham and Nashville show a really stable airmass, though a good bit of wind shear, especially up in Tennessee. And that breeze can easily be observed by simply stepping outside.
As mentioned above, that cold front will be dropping through the Tennessee Valley tomorrow but is expected to stay dry.
After Monday evening it should start to lift back North/Northeast as a warm front over the next few days. And then on Friday, a cold front should come in behind it and push through the region by Saturday. That’s the overview of our forecast for this coming week.
Now let’s dig into the details with the raw model output.
