DISCUSSION
Issued at 1231 PM EST Sun Feb 1 2026
Cloud cover will continue to decrease as temperatures aloft moderate under a building mid/upper ridge. Clear and nearly calm conditions tonight will result in low temps in the single digits to around 10 in northern central sections, and teens south. With the light winds, windh chills won't be much below those values, even in the mountains, so no additional Cold Advisory products will be issued for tonight. A few isolated spots in the highest elevations may see wind chills around -5 to -10.
Monday will be sunny and warmer under the ridge aloft, with temperatures trying to break freezing as north as the TN and VA state lines. This will help improve travel conditions as ice and snow melt in sunny areas, although shaded areas will likely stay icy. Tuesday will be even warmer with a surface high pressure located to the east, allowing SW flow through the low levels.
A shortwave approaches the area from the NW, bringing a weak front to the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Precipitation will primarily be rain, but locations that get to near or below freezing Wednesday morning may have a mixture of rain and snow. The highest elevations of East TN and SW VA may see some light accumulation before precip ends Wednesday evening.
Temperatures cool again on Thursday behind that system, with dry conditions continuing through Friday.Temperatures trend upward again Friday, but that appears short-lived as another cold front will impact the region next weekend.
