.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.
