.NEAR TERM...
(Today)
Issued at 245 AM CST Fri Feb 6 2026

Tranquil conditions continue early this morning with temperatures
holding steady in the lower 30s. WAA at the sfc has prevented
temperatures from dropping further. Some high level clouds
continue to stream across portions of southern middle TN and
northeast AL with clear skies further west. With winds holding
around 5 mph not expecting widespread fog development, but this
will be something to keep an eye on as we approach daybreak. As
for the rest of today, expect relatively mild conditions with
temperatures peaking in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Winds will
increase this afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front/clipper
system. Expect gusts 20-25 mph at times. With a lack of moisture,
no precip is forecast with the cold front passage.

.SHORT TERM...
(Friday night through Sunday)
Issued at 1050 PM CST Thu Feb 5 2026

Expect cloud cover to push back into the area behind the afore-
mentioned clipper system Friday evening. Fairly strong cold air
advection should affect the area by the early to mid evening
hours, due to the quick movement of the clipper system. Most
guidance shows no precipitation ahead of this front, except maybe
a few sprinkles well to our east and northeast. However,
temperatures will fall back into the upper 20s to lower 30s behind
the front late Friday night.

Stronger cold air advection continues behind the front on
Saturday over northern Alabama and southern middle Tennessee.
Highs with abundant sunshine are expected to only make it into the
upper 30s to around 45 degrees. It will be breezy too with
sustained winds between 10 and 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph
possible. This will keep wind chill values in the 30s to lower 40s
in most areas even into the afternoon hours. So, This should be
the last day before the pattern really changes for a longer period
of time.

A strong upper level ridge builds into the area Saturday night
into Sunday. This will really warm things up Sunday with abundant
sunshine and highs climbing back up to the lower 50s to near 60
degrees. Some linger clouds are expected, but should be more of a
partly cloudy affair.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 1050 PM CST Thu Feb 5 2026

As an upper low meanders over the Baja of Mexico into the
western Texas Sunday night into Monday, upper level ridging
remains in place over the southeast. A surface low forms over the
central CONUS in response to this shortwave. This should advect
much warmer and more moist air northward from the Gulf states into
the area. This will mean a substantial warmup continues both with
high and low temperatures. Models continue to suggest highs will
climb into the mid to upper 60s on Monday and low only drop into
the mid 40s to around 50 degrees Monday night. As the upper low
and its associated surface low moves east on Tuesday, precipitation
should develop near and east of the low. However, it will take a
bit to modify the dry airmass in place this far east, so precipitation
should remain closer to the surface low through the day on Tuesday.
Strong warm air advection ahead of the weak surface low should
push highs into the mid 60s to around 70 degrees again on Tuesday,
despite abundant cloud cover.

However, by Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, strong upper
level forcing and just enough moisture will be present as the
surface low approaches and then moves through the area. This
should produce some scattered light showers as it does so. One
tenth to around one quarter of an inch seems reasonable and seems
to be an average of most guidance. Most guidance quickly moves
this forcing eastward through zonal flow aloft, so that by
Wednesday afternoon, rainfall chances will be low, before ending
by the evening hours.

A slight cool down is expected Wednesday night into the end of
next week, as another dry clipper system moves quickly southeast
and drops highs into the 55 to 60 degree range and lows back into
the 30s.
