737 FXUS64 KOHX 200017 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 617 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 ...New UPDATE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 608 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 - High rain chances across Middle Tennessee Thursday afternoon through Friday night. - Some storms are possible Thursday and Friday, but the risk of severe storms is very low. - Unseasonably warm temperatures will stay with us through Saturday, with slightly cooler weather settling in by Sunday. && .UPDATE... Issued at 608 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 it was a mostly cloudy and mild evening with temperatures mainly in the 60s. Enough low level moisture lurks along a stalled surface front to form areas of fog and low clouds overnight. Temperatures will fall into the upper 40s to lower 50s, which is 10 to 15 degrees above normal. Cloudy, gloomy conditions will start Thursday, leading to a rainy, dreary afternoon and evening. The forecast was recently freshened for hourly trends, no major changes are needed at this time. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Thursday) Issued at 1017 AM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 A surface boundary continues to sag southward through Middle Tennessee, although we won`t notice much change in temperatures. However, dew points are already starting to drop from north to south, and this is giving us a reprieve from active weather for the next 24 hours or so. However, we do expect areas of fog to develop once again during the overnight and early morning period tomorrow. Rain and storm chances will begin to form by tomorrow afternoon as a warm front develops to our north and a low pressure system starts to gather steam over the Great Plains. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday Night through next Wednesday) Issued at 1017 AM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 Medium to high rain and storm chances will continue through Friday and into Friday night as a cold front sweeps across the region. Despite the unseasonable warmth, instability parameters associated with this environment are quite modest, so it appears that showers are going to be primary weather mode, with only isolated storms. And the risk of severe storms over the next couple of days looks to remain quite low. Rain chances will drop off over the weekend as we find ourselves between active weather systems. Temperatures will start to back off a few degrees during the weekend, but will still remain above normal as we head into next week. The next cold front looks to sweep through Middle Tennessee maybe Tuesday night, and this one is expected to bring sharply colder temperatures to the area during the mid to late week period. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 521 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 A variety of conditions are in place across the area, but all sites will trend downward to IFR/LIFR overnight as areas of fog and stratus form, then scattered showers begin to develop toward daybreak. After 18Z, widespread rain will develop, keeping conditions generally poor for flying. Winds will be light, mainly northeast to east. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
