DISCUSSION
Issued at 1230 PM EST Sun Feb 8 2026
Still cold out there with cloudy skies and the large trough still slowly making it's way off the east coast of the United States. If we can make it through today we'll turn the corner to warmer weather. Temperatures start a warming trend tomorrow with the warmest day being Tuesday with most of the eastern Tennessee Valley reaching into the 60's and Chattanooga possibly crossing the 70 degree mark. Wednesday will see the incoming of a weak front from the north which will back off temperatures to more seasonal normals for the second half of the week, bringing with it a quick shot of rain, as temperatures remain well above freezing.
Moderate temperatures expected for the second half of the week and into the weekend when our next system moves through. We'll see several days of precipitation chances for the end of the week and into the weekend as shortwaves precede an incoming trough/low expected to move out of the southern plains. Temperatures during this time frame still look to remain above freezing for almost all of the valley, outside of the mountains where overnight lows drop below freezing. With a few days of precipitation chances we could see an inch or two of rainfall over a 3 day time span. Which should be long enough to limit the flooding risk... But will be worth keeping an eye on for some periods of increased rainfall rates.
