DISCUSSION
Issued at 1227 PM EST Mon Feb 2 2026
The forecast for the next 7 days looks pretty tranquil compared to the recent run of winter storms we've been having.
Cloud cover has been crossing the area this morning, keeping temperatures colder than guidance indicated, along with the snow cover. Radar shows light returns but no precip has been reported at obs sites. We should have clear and calm conditions tonight, which should lead to a rapid temperature drop in areas that have snow cover. Went with lows near or colder than NBM05 in NE TN and SW VA tonight.
Clouds increase on Tuesday as warm advection and isentrpoic lift develop ahead of an approaching positively-tilted trough and surface front. Showers should start to spread into the area in the afternoon, with peak forcing occurring in the evening near the time of the frontal passage. Rain chances continue into Wednesday afternoon as the upper trough axis lags behind the front. Some light snow may accumulate in higher elevations of SW VA and East TN before precip ends, but nothing impactful is expected.
The pattern through the end of the week will feature a deep trough off the Atlantic coastline and riding over the Plains, putting our area in a dry NW flow. A cold front passes through the area late Friday, but moisture will be quite limited with only SW VA and the NE TN mountains having a slight chance of precip. The flow becomes more zonal through the weekend, resulting in dry conditions with temperatures moderating to near normal.
