.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday Night)
Issued at 1000 PM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

A disturbance accompanied by a cold front will move across the Mid
State overnight. Moisture / light rain showing up on radar across
MS/AL will move into mainly southern and eastern sections of
Middle TN overnight. Rainfall will be scattered and very light
with most places seeing just sprinkles (trace amounts). There may
be enough cold air for a flurries Monday morning.

High pressure will build in behind this system Monday, but as we
have seen during several recent events, the low level moisture
will linger under a strong temperature inversion, so clouds will
be slow to break up after this front. Monday will be another
chilly, cloudy day with temperatures struggling to reach 40. Wind
chills will be in the 30s through the day.

If skies clear out by Monday night, we could have foggy
conditions including some freezing fog, but enough cloud cover may
stay around to limit fog development.

On Tuesday, surface high pressure will move east of our area as a
low pressure system drops into the Plains and Upper Midwest.
Between these systems, southwest winds will increase with warm
advection bringing our temps up closer to normal.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Monday)
Issued at 1000 PM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

The warm advection pattern will continue Tuesday night and
Wednesday as low pressure tracks to our north. Temperatures will
climb well into the 50s for most of us on Wednesday, but it may
not feel so warm with gusty southwest winds over 25 mph at times.

A couple of shortwaves accompanied by cold fronts will drop
across the region Wednesday through Friday. We have been
advertising chances for rain showers and perhaps eventually some
snow showers with these systems, but models are trending drier.
the latest NBM forecast shows 20 to 30 percent precipitation
chances at most. This could still change of course, but right now
it looks like the main impact from these fronts will be the
arrival of much colder air, especially with Friday`s cold front.
We are forecasting weekend highs in the 30s with overnight lows
in the teens.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1033 PM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

A band of light showers is skirting eastward across mainly
southern portions of Middle Tennessee as an upper trough is poised
to rotate through the region during the next several hours.
Ceilings will gradually lower during the overnight period and will
remain mainly IFR through the morning hours. Meanwhile, we`ve
included some PROB30 remarks at KCSV and KSRB, as these will
likely be the only two terminals that could see light
precipitation overnight. There is some light fog in the 06Z TAFs,
but winds already have or will soon increase from the NNW, so this
should otherwise limit the fog potential. Conditions will be slow
to improve tomorrow, even after the shortwave exits the region.
