KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 816 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
- Freeze Warning continues for all of Northern Alabama late tonight through 8 AM Sunday morning for low temperatures below freezing.
NEAR TERM
(Today) Issued at 354 AM CST Sun Nov 15 2026
A 1030 mb High pressure was centered over eastern Iowa and western Illinois. A ridge axis extended from this high into the Deep South. At 500 mb, an upper low was shearing over the Red River Valley, with high clouds streaming southeast in the shear axis into the TN Valley. These were quite thin, and radiational cooling was not being impacted significantly. Temperatures have dipped into the upper 20s to around 30 at most locations at this hour. For the rest of today, a mostly sunny sky is expected as the thin high clouds persist. High temperatures will rebound into the upper 50s to around 60 this afternoon in valley areas (lower 50s atop
SHORT TERM
(Sunday night through Tuesday night) Issued at 816 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
Clear skies and light winds will once again provide ideal radiational cooling conditions on Sunday night. Temperatures are forecast to drop into the upper 20s across portions of southern middle TN and lower 30s across northern AL. A frost or freeze product may be needed for our AL counties if the forecast holds, but for now will hold off given the uncertainty of below freezing temperatures. A gradual warming trend will occur during the start of the work week as the sfc high shifts to the east bringing more easterly flow to the Tennessee Valley. Expect afternoon highs to rise into the low to mid 60s on Monday and Tuesday. Overnight lows will dip once again into the upper 20s to lower 30s. Additional frost and freeze products may be needed as we head into next week.
LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 816 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026
The ridge that expands from the Southern Plains up through the Midwest on Tuesday will get squished for the lack of a better description through the week and into the weekend. An incoming upper level trough will swing through the Central and Northern Plains on Wednesday, and tries to shove the ridge eastward. The ridge instead will moreso lean eastward onto the an upper level low that is cut off and anchored over FL and the Southeast Coast. The cut off low will keep our upper level winds northeasterly and sfc winds mainly easterly through Thursday, reducing the true potential of how much we could warm up. Friday, the southwesterly winds aloft ahead of the trough to the north will give a slight push to temps though. Regardless, with the strength of the ridge, we will have slightly warmer than normal temps, reaching the mid/upper 60s on Wednesday, with a few of us reaching 70 on Thursday and all of us in the 70s Friday and Saturday. Overnight lows will be above freezing through the extended, upper 30s/lower 40s, but still keep cold weather safety in mind.
