315 FXUS64 KOHX 011716 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1116 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1111 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 - There are low to medium chances for light snowfall accumulations mainly north of I-40 Monday night and early Tuesday, especially northwest Middle Tennessee. Chances for 1" or greater accumulation are very low (<20%) at this time. - Temperatures will remain below seasonal norms for the next several days. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday Night) Issued at 1111 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 Some high clouds out there right now on satellite across Middle Tennessee. Radiational cooling should be a bit more successful tonight, with lows getting into the low 20s and possibly even the teens on the Cumberland Plateau. An inverted trough will be entering the mid-state from the south tomorrow afternoon, which will bring a large swath of precipitation across the area through Tuesday morning/early afternoon. Guidance is showing that we will start off this afternoon/evening with cold rain, and transition into a wintry precipitation situation overnight and into Tuesday morning in some areas. Mixed precipitation continues to be a possibility, but probabilities continue. Right now, the area north of I-40 looks to be the most likely to receive this mixed/wintry precipitation. Probabilities of at least 0.01" of freezing rain, so not a lot but still enough to cause some problems, are less than 20%. This is a decent drop from the higher probabilities in the models yesterday evening. Snow totals have also dropped for this event, with expected snow totals right now under half an inch. The area remains north of I-40 for those most likely to see snow, with probabilities for over half an inch around 20 - 40% north of I-40. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 1111 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 The pattern after this system will remain active in Middle Tennessee. Another system will end our brief cold and dry period, which will bring more precipitation to the mid-state. Looks like it could be another mixed precipitation event as well, so we will continue to monitor these tricky systems in the forecast. Below- normal temperatures look to persist through the forecast period as well. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1111 AM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 VFR conditions expected through 02-03Z for all terminals, but there will be a big fall-off to MVFR and quickly to IFR as our next weather maker enters the area this evening. -RA will be the main precip until 08-09Z when a short change over to -SN/IP will occur at CKV/BNA/MQY on the backside of the precip. Less certain on the changeover for CSV/SRB, covered with PROB30 after 12Z/Tue. Winds will be light (10 kts or less) but shift around to the northwest after 06Z/Tue. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
