.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.
