.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1100 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

A cloudy Monday is in store for middle Tennessee, with clouds
thinning a bit into the evening but not totally going away.
Temperatures will barely rise out of the 30s in most area today,
with some along the plateau and the KY border never quite making it.
Lows tonight will dip back into the 20s, with the Cumberland plateau
getting as low as the low 20s. With another night of sub-freezing
lows, freezing fog is on our radar as a possibility tonight if
clouds clear in some areas.

High pressure will build in through Wednesday morning, driving
temperatures into the 50s for highs. The good news is the sun will
be visible in the sky during the afternoon on Tuesday as clouds
briefly clear.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday Night through next Monday)
Issued at 1100 AM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

A trough is expected to dig south and bring more rain chances to
Middle Tennessee. Precipitation amounts with this system have
totally dried out in the guidance, and we are not expecting any QPF
in the mid-state. One notable thing is an arctic air mass from close
to the arctic circle will be behind another cold front that will
move through at the end of the week. We`re still refining exacts
with how cold we will get, with guidance backing off on the extreme
cold temperatures as of late. So while it may not get into the teens
for lows, it will still be very cold at night, with expected lows in
the low 20s.
