DISCUSSION
(THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1108 PM CST TUE JAN 27 2026
LITTLE HAS CHANGED WITH THE FORECAST TONIGHT, AS THE MAIN WEATHER
STORY FOR THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS REMAINS THE COLD AIR THAT REFUSES TO
LEAVE THE REGION. TEMPERATURE WILL SLIGHTLY WARM TODAY AND TOMORROW
AHEAD OF THE MAIN TROUGH THIS WEEKEND, BUT THEY WILL STILL BE ON THE
COOL SIDE. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL ONLY MANAGE TO CLIMB INTO THE MID-
40S TO LOW-50S.
TEMPERATURES WILL REALLY SWING SOUTH AGAIN THIS WEEKEND, AS THE NEXT
DEEP TROUGH AND COLD FRONT PUSH THROUGH THE REGION. AT THIS TIME, IT
STILL LOOKS LIKE THIS COLD FRONT WILL WORK THROUGH THE AREA WITH
LITTLE PRECIPITATION FOR SPEAK OF. BECAUSE OF THAT, WINTER WEATHER
STILL LOOKS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME, GIVEN THE TIMING (ABOVE
FREEZING TEMPS) AND LACK OF ORGANIZED RAINFALL. WHAT LOOKS FAR
MORE CERTAIN AT THIS TIME IS ANOTHER SHOT OF VERY COLD AIR WORKING
IN BEHIND THIS FRONT. COLD PRODUCTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AGAIN
FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT, AS APPARENTT'S WILL LIKELY FALL
INTO SINGLE DIGITS FOR A LARGE PORTION OF CENTRAL ALABAMA.
