🌤️ Coming Weather Pattern

  • Wednesday-Thursday: Late season cool air moves in after system clears

    • Lows in the upper 40s in Tennessee

    • 50s possible almost to the coast

  • Memorial Day Weekend: Weak stalled front may bring a few showers (not as clear as I had hoped)

  • Next Week: Stronger weather system expected around mid-week

🔍 Notable Pattern

  • The relatively high tornado threat in northwest Alabama tomorrow is unusual this far south this late in May

  • Current pattern features a strong late season mid-latitude cyclone (our normal weather pattern for fall through spring)

Stay weather-aware during this active period, particularly Tuesday when tornado threats are elevated! ⚠️
