NEAR TERM

(Rest of Today and Tonight) Issued at 1240 PM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

Can see scattered Cu out the window, otherwise temperatures have rose into the lower 40s so far this afternoon. The 40s don't feel too bad until the breezy winds hit you. Northwesterly winds continue to gust up to 25 kts. These values should remain below Wind Advisory Criteria (35mph) but persist into the overnight hours. With lows reaching the lower 20s, those winds will make it feel more like it is in the teens to single digits. Ensure you are dressed in warm layers with a hat and gloves to stay warm and don't forget about pets!

SHORT TERM

(Monday through Wednesday) Issued at 913 AM CST Sun Feb 22 2026

Monday morning will start out in the 20s, but it will feel even colder, 6-12 degrees, as breezy northwesterly winds persist. Ensure you are dressed warmly in layers with a hat, coat and gloves for your morning commute to work or school. As the sfc low in the Mid Atlantic lifts up the coast, high pressure will continue to build into the region. This will finally slack the pressure gradient and let the winds calm down throughout the day. Until it does, the winds will make it feel like it's in the 20s until lunchtime or so. Despite the sunshine, highs will be the coldest of the week only reaching the upper 30s. As the sfc high is nearly overhead, skies will be mostly clear and with finally nearly calm winds, it will allow for good radiational cooling dropping lows into the upper teens to lower 20s.

A warm up is on the way! Sfc high pressure will push southeastward Tuesday and return breezy southerly flow. This push of WAA will help us rebound nicely Tuesday and even more so on Wednesday. Despite the increase in cloud cover ahead of an approaching frontal system, highs will reach the lower 50s on Tuesday and the lower 60s on Wednesday!

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through Saturday) Issued at 914 PM CST Sat Feb 21 2026

Clouds will increase Tuesday night into Wednesday ahead of an approaching frontal system. Despite the cloud cover, southerly winds will help to push high temperatures back into the low to mid 60s. Another fast-moving trough will ripple through the Tennessee Valley Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing medium to high chances (50-80%) for rain showers along and ahead of a cold front. This activity will taper off from west to east Thursday night, with some decent wetting rains of between 0.5" to 1.0" forecast. Thereafter, we will remain in zonal flow aloft and in a mild pattern to close out the month of February, with partly cloudy conditions and southerly winds keeping highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1110 AM CST Sun Feb 22 2026
