.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1201 PM CDT Sat Apr 11 2026

Current surface analysis shows us on the cool side of what will
be a developing/evolving warm frontal boundary that warm sectors
us completely by tmrw. Outside of today`s slight chance mention
with the boundary, we`re dry most of this weekend until its
passage. The NBM seems overdone with what are effectively some
overrunning/elevated pops in the warm sector Sunday night-
Monday, so we`ll look at that as a potential target of
opportunity for adjusting toward lower pops but either way,
some chance mention is inevitable. It will remain dry in the low
levels with afternoon RH dropping into the 30s percentile in
most locations and maybe some upper end 20s RH in the
Pennyrile/east of the Lakes. This will heighten fire danger
combined with the winds that will become south 10-20 mph with
some higher gust potential. Spotty warm sector showers can never
be completely ruled out, but after the Sunday night-Monday
night chance don`t pop up again in more earnest til the middle
to latter portion of the week. That`s when the models have been
developing a more robust low with attendant front(s) that will
be making Ohio Valley appearance...where we outlook day 5-6 svr
chances. It may be that best chances are ultimately pushed
closer to the week`s end when the primary trof axis swings
thru...but that`ll flesh out with more runs as we near in
time...just something to watch for now as we continue above
normal temps in the 80s with dew points in the 60s for the week,
almost feeling summer-like.
