645 FXUS64 KMRX 122316 AAA AFDMRX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Morristown TN 616 PM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 609 PM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 - Moderating temperatures and quiet weather on tap through the end of the week. - Low chances of rain Friday night, slightly better chances Saturday night into Sunday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 107 PM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 Not much going on in the forecast. Upper troughing will continue to slowly push eastward tomorrow. In the low-levels, weak ridging returns by Friday, allowing temperatures to continue to moderate. A slight chance for showers will be in place Friday night across northeast TN and southwest VA. This is due to a strong upper jet residing over the area coinciding with some low-end mid-level moisture. Most areas will stay dry, but some could see a few light showers. Better chances for showers exist Saturday night into Sunday as a weak cold front comes through. The best chances for showers will be across our northern areas as these areas will be closer to the better moisture and dynamics. Having said that, this is a weak front and will be low impact. Even those areas that have better chances of rain will likely only see amounts around one tenth of an inch or less. Also, there isn`t a big push of cold air behind this front; so no worry of any frozen precip or much colder temperatures behind it. By Monday or Tuesday of next week, probabilities increase that we could see a more widespread rainfall across the whole area. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 609 PM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 Potential for some fog exists tonight at TRI, as some model guidance is hinting at reduced visibilities there. It will depend on winds going calm. The TAF will have the calm wind/MVFR vis scenario, but if winds stay up, fog will not likely form. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
