802 FXUS64 KOHX 231237 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 637 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 ...New UPDATE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 632 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 - Showers and thunderstorms Monday night through Tuesday. Low chance for severe storms. - Dry weather Wednesday through the late weekend. - Temperatures turn cold Wednesday night, ahead of Thanksgiving Day. High chance (80-95%) for temperatures to reach 30 degrees or less by Thursday night. && .UPDATE... Issued at 632 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Stubborn clouds have held on overnight and while a little clearing was seen in our northwest, fog filled in quickly. Expectations are for the fog to lift in the next couple of hours, then clouds should start to dissipate mid-morning. This will leave us with sunny skies and temperatures are still going to climb above seasonal norms by a few degrees. Looking ahead to tomorrow night, initial scouring of forecast soundings reveal very little to no instability, but we`ll have to see what the next 24-36 hours brings. Monday night`s system is very dynamic, which could lead to at least some surge of moisture. More to come... && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday) Issued at 1014 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 The stratus deck has settled in for the night across Middle Tennessee. The northern line of the deck is very close to the TN/KY border. For those locations that happen to remain clear, areas of fog, possibly dense, will likely form. The northern edge of the deck is not expected to make much progress southward through the rest of the overnight hours. Those clouds are expected to scatter through the morning as subsidence increases as surface high slides into the area. It should be pleasant in the afternoon with light winds, sunshine, and temperatures in the 60s. The dry weather will continue on Monday as the surface high moves away from the area. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1014 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Our next chance of rain will be Monday night and Tuesday as a weakening shortwave moves out the central plains into the Midwest. Some embedded storms will be possible Monday night and Tuesday, but models continue to keep the notable instability south of the area. We`ll continue to keep an eye on that as the dynamics of the system are not lacking. Showers will slowly end from west to east Tuesday afternoon and evening. A strong cold front will be on the heels of the shower activity with fropa occuring after midnight into Wednesday morning. Noticeably cooler air will settle into the region on Wednesday with highs only in the 50s. If you are getting up early for your Thanksgiving cooking, it will be chilly! Lows Thursday morning will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s. The cooler air mass will remain in place through the rest of the week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 508 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Low cloud deck continues to hamper flight conditions across Middle TN. CSV/SRB are starting to come out of it and should be VFR very soon. BNA/MQY remain MVFR but should return to VFR 15-16Z. CKV has been catching the brunt of it and while clouds cleared out several hours ago, vis is VLIFR. Conditions should improve there by 14Z. More VLIFR fog tonight for CKV expected by 05Z/Mon. Low confidence for other mid-state sites. Winds will be light and northerly. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
