.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1238 AM EST Sun Feb 8 2026

A deep trough remains over the East Coast Sunday. A weak ridge is 
over the Southeast. Some light snow is likely in Southwest Virginia 
and Northeast Tennessee Sunday morning ending in the early afternoon 
hours. As northwest flow continues some moisture will make it to SW 
Virginia and NE Tennessee from Lake Michigan. With Lake Michigan 
mostly frozen, moisture should be limited but light snow is still 
likely. Probabilities are very low for 1 inch. Up to a half inch 
will be possible in Southwest Virginia with a dusting likely. A 
dusting is less likely in Northeast Tennessee. HREF keeps snow below 
half an inch. 

Otherwise, dry weather will be in place until the next system 
approaches Tuesday night and Wednesday. A warming trend will start 
Monday as a ridge builds in from the southwest. Highs will be in the 
50s and 60s Monday through Friday in the Tennessee Valley. Mid and 
late week a trough will be over the East Coast with a ridge over the 
Great Plains. A strong system is possible Fri/Sat but temps should 
be warm enough for all rain.
