058 FXUS64 KOHX 101145 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 545 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 540 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025 - Look for warmer temperatures and breezy conditions today. - There are low to medium rain chances (20-50%), mainly across northeast Middle Tennessee, as a cold front sweeps through the area today. - Another cold front will impact the region this weekend, with low precipitation chances Saturday night. The coldest air of the season is expected Sunday night, with widespread lows in the teens. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Thursday Night) Issued at 1008 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025 Surface and low-level winds are increasing in advance of a strong cold front that looks to sweep across Middle Tennessee tomorrow. Temperatures on Wednesday will be quite pleasant in spite of the breezy conditions, but colder air will soon return to the mid state. The deepest moisture associated with the cold front will remain to our north. There are low to medium rain chances across portions of northern Middle Tennessee tomorrow as a result of the cold front, but QPF values are anemic. There is a very low chance of light wintry weather affecting portions of the Upper Plateau late tomorrow, but, again, any significant impacts will likely remain outside of the OHX county warning area. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1008 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025 Friday should turn out to be somewhat pleasant temperature-wise, although another cold front will rotate through the mid state during the afternoon, so the warmth will be short-lived; indeed, the weekend weather is going to be frigid as an Arctic air mass settles into the region. Although Friday`s fropa should come through dry, we do expect low precipitation chances Saturday night as an upper trough swings through the area. Some of the precipitation may be frozen, but QPF values are below 0.15" most locations, so there aren`t currently any concerns except for frigid conditions on Sunday (highs mainly in the 30s) and Sunday night (lows mainly in the teens). Next week, look for better rain chances as temperatures warm up nicely. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 540 AM CST Wed Dec 10 2025 Gusty SW winds are expected to continue across Middle Tennessee this morning along with the threat of LLWS. Wind shear should subside by ~15z at most terminals followed by wind shifts associated with FROPA this afternoon. Clouds will increase through the morning, but cigs are forecast to remain VFR during the day. However, MVFR cigs are likely at SRB and CSV after 00z, and there`s low confidence on overnight MVFR cigs at BNA, MQY, and CKV at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
