.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 1058 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

Stratiform rain has exited to the east, but gusty southerly winds
persist this morning with gusts of 20-30 mph being measured.
These gusts will lessen this afternoon as the surface pressure
gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, a potent cold front is approaching
from the west, and at this time, is moving through Missouri. Ahead
of this front, we`re still expecting scattered showers with
isolated thunderstorms to develop along the Plateau this
afternoon. The latest SPC Day 1 Outlook has removed our CWA from
the marginal risk as parameters continue to look unimpressive for
any severe weather this afternoon. So fortunately, we are not
anticipating any impacts from activity that develops.

Showers & storms will gradually diminish after sunset, and then it`s
time for plummeting temperatures. The aforementioned cold front
sweeps through the area tonight, resulting in a much cooler
Wednesday. Afternoon temperatures will only be the upper-40s to low-
50s - about 15 to 20 degrees cooler compared to today. Behind the
front, northerly winds will be breezy, but it`ll be dry and sunny.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday Night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 1058 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

Temperatures will continue to fall Wednesday night and into
Thanksgiving. Widespread freezing temperatures are expected
Wednesday night, and highs for the holiday will be chilly only in
the 40s. The good news is that Thanksgiving Day looks nice
otherwise with plenty of sunshine and no rain in sight. But if
you`re going out Thursday night or early Friday morning, bundle
up! The coldest period of this forecast will be Thursday night as
lows fall into the upper-teens to low-20s.

Surface high pressure builds over the area Friday and into the
weekend, leading to gradually warming temperatures. Meanwhile, a
longwave upper-level trough will begin to take shape to our west.
This trough moves into the Ohio Valley this weekend, resulting in
increasing rain chances late Saturday and into early next week.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1122 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025

A cold front is in the process of pushing through Middle Tennessee
as we head into the afternoon, but we won`t actually realize a
wind shift to the WNW until later tonight. In the meantime, we
remain under a deck of mainly MVFR ceilings. Cloud heights will
improve somewhat during the afternoon, but a secondary boundary is
expected to come through overnight, so we`ll experience a few more
hours of MVFR ceilings early Wednesday before we finally scatter
out. Surface winds will relax somewhat after sunset, but will
increase once again later tonight and tomorrow morning with the
wind shift.
