DISCUSSION

Issued at 128 PM EST Fri Feb 27 2026

Not much to talk about over the next 7 days. Dry and mild conditions are expected through the weekend. A dry cold front is expected to come through on Sunday, NBM currently has no POPs, but we will see an increase in clouds. Temps on Monday will be slightly cooler behind the front, but still mild, and rain chances begin to increase as a weak disturbance moves through zonal flow and across our area. Slight chance to chance POPs hang around through Tuesday as this disturbance slowly pushes east. The higher POPs are north of I-40 with lesser POPs south of I-40.

Wednesday through Friday, temperatures ramp up as ridging strengthens across the southeast. High temps will generally be in the 70s with the southern TN Valley possibly hitting 80 degrees by Friday. NBM keeps some POPs in place during this time to account for a potential system coming through during this timeframe.

Overall, no hazardous weather is expected at this point in time.

AVIATION
