984 FXUS64 KOHX 021736 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1136 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1120 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 - Rain tapering off west to east this Sunday afternoon and evening. - Areas of dense fog tonight into Monday morning. - Dry most of the week. Warming up a little. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1025 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Late Sunday morning, low pressure circulation was evident on satellite loops over southwest Middle Tennessee. This system was responsible for the wet, gloomy wx. The low pressure will drift southeast of our area by this evening, allowing rain to taper off, or at least decrease to patchy drizzle. Most areas west of the Plateau will get at least a few glimpses of sunshine this afternoon. Still, it will be chilly with temperatures warming to the mid 50s at best. Surface high pressure will slide in overnight giving us a very favorable setup for fog. Persistent low clouds may preclude dense fog in some areas, but even partial clearing will result in rapid formation of dense fog with very poor visibilities this evening and overnight, and these impacts will continue through Monday morning rush hour. Conditions will be quite chilly overnight with lows mostly mid to upper 30s. After low clouds and fog break up mid morning, Monday will turn out pretty decent but cool. Highs will be only in the upper 50s to lower 60s. This is around 5 degrees cooler than normal. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1025 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Dry wx will be in place Monday night through at least Thursday. Temperatures will start chilly, but a midweek warmup to slightly above normal levels will occur as steering winds become zonal. We continue to look for a couple of late week / weekend fronts that will sweep across the area pretty quickly. Models have been inconsistent with the timing and strength of these features, so the forecast comes with very low confidence. The latest NBM blend shows the first front Friday into Saturday then the next for Sunday. These fronts look strong enough to produce a good chance for showers and some storms. Right now, moisture depth and instability appear to be lacking for any severe storm threat, but given the dynamics / wind energy with these fronts, that could change if things line up a little differently than current models show. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1120 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 An upper low is circulating almost over the weather office as we head into the afternoon, although the deepest moisture is well east of the upper low. There are still a few light echoes showing up on radar, mostly along the Cumberland Plateau. Low ceilings will affect most of the mid state for most of the afternoon, but look for deteriorating ceilings and visibilities overnight. Tonight is a classic fog scenario, with a damp ground and light/calm winds, and all terminals are expected to drop below their t-over values. The densest fog and lowest ceilings will affect our two Cumberland Plateau terminals (KCSV & KSRB), with lesser impacts elsewhere. Sunshine will re-emerge tomorrow morning as the boundary layer finally mixes out. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
