Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Farragut, TN

DISCUSSION
Issued at 108 PM EST Tue Feb 10 2026

Currently a warm day even with the increasing clouds across the region with most locations well above seasonal high temperatures by mid day. Likely to be the warmest day of the calendar year so far with some locations expected to see 70 degrees for the first time this year. The temperature rise is being aided by the combination of a low pressure system off to our northeast, and mid level ridging building into our south helping to draw up warm air quickly out of the southwest.

We'll see a change in the pattern a bit on Wednesday as a front dives down out of the north being trailed behind the surface low continuing to move off to our northeast. Rain chances move in overnight, but with this being a more continental air mass it will be fairly dry with less than a quarter inch of precipitation expected for all locations outside of the mountains with their orographically enhanced rainfall. Temperatures on Wednesday will drop about 10+ degrees compared to today and yet another 5 or so degrees by Thursday.

The next chance of rain arrives on Saturday a a southern stream shortwave trough moves through the southern CONUS. This could be a fairly dynamic system with a strong southerly flow ahead of it, suggesting a potential for mountain waves in the Saturday night time frame. Still some uncertainty with when the precipitation will begin ahead of the main system, but increasing confidence for a rainy end to the weekend with current QPF forecast calling for most locations to get around 1 inch or more of rainfall, which is needed with worsening drought conditions across much of the southeast.
