851 FXUS64 KOHX 270529 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1129 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1120 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 - Cooler temperatures persist through Thanksgiving with highs in the 40s and lows in the upper-teens to mid-20s. - High rain chances return this weekend with slightly warmer temperatures. Precipitation chances persist into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Friday Night) Issued at 1119 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 Temperatures will continue to fall overnight, but not reach their full potential because of a deck of clouds moving into middle Tennessee from the west. For the Thanksgiving holiday, maybe add a jacket to your outfit as highs will only get into the 40s and winds could be a bit gusty at times. Dry conditions will prevail into the start of the weekend, with temperatures well below freezing overnight and in the 40s and 50s during the day. Remember the 4 Ps: pets, people, plants, and pipes as we go into these colder nights! && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through next Thursday) Issued at 1119 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 A trough will track through the Ohio Valley over the weekend, bringing rain chances to middle Tennessee. Saturday afternoon looks to be the timeframe rain will start in our NW areas, moving east overnight into Sunday. Looking at specifics, current guidance has a 20 - 40% chance of seeing greater than half an inch of QPF through Sunday night, and a <10% chance of over an inch. This trough will bring another shot of cold air as we enter the first few weeks of December. From here, things get a bit muddy. The overall pattern will remain on the active side, with medium chances for precipitation through the extended. Guidance is saying yes it looks like there will be another trough in the first week of December that comes through. However, the specifics, like placement, type, and timing, remain inconsistent from run to run. So while this is something to watch as we get closer in time, it`s a bit hard to say anything with certainty right now. It does look like there is a chance for wintry precipitation next week, a small one, but again, too inconsistent to say anything right now. Stay tuned as the forecast becomes more clear. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1120 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 Winds will remain steady around 5kts overnight with not VIS or CIG issues (VFR through the TAF period). After daybreak tomorrow gusts to around 20kts will return, but expect a persistent northwest wind through tomorrow night. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
