708 FXUS64 KOHX 022325 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 525 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 521 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 - Rain tapering off west to east this Sunday afternoon and evening. - Areas of dense fog tonight into Monday morning. - Dry most of the week. Warming up a little. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1025 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Late Sunday morning, low pressure circulation was evident on satellite loops over southwest Middle Tennessee. This system was responsible for the wet, gloomy wx. The low pressure will drift southeast of our area by this evening, allowing rain to taper off, or at least decrease to patchy drizzle. Most areas west of the Plateau will get at least a few glimpses of sunshine this afternoon. Still, it will be chilly with temperatures warming to the mid 50s at best. Surface high pressure will slide in overnight giving us a very favorable setup for fog. Persistent low clouds may preclude dense fog in some areas, but even partial clearing will result in rapid formation of dense fog with very poor visibilities this evening and overnight, and these impacts will continue through Monday morning rush hour. Conditions will be quite chilly overnight with lows mostly mid to upper 30s. After low clouds and fog break up mid morning, Monday will turn out pretty decent but cool. Highs will be only in the upper 50s to lower 60s. This is around 5 degrees cooler than normal. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1025 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Dry wx will be in place Monday night through at least Thursday. Temperatures will start chilly, but a midweek warmup to slightly above normal levels will occur as steering winds become zonal. We continue to look for a couple of late week / weekend fronts that will sweep across the area pretty quickly. Models have been inconsistent with the timing and strength of these features, so the forecast comes with very low confidence. The latest NBM blend shows the first front Friday into Saturday then the next for Sunday. These fronts look strong enough to produce a good chance for showers and some storms. Right now, moisture depth and instability appear to be lacking for any severe storm threat, but given the dynamics / wind energy with these fronts, that could change if things line up a little differently than current models show. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 521 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Western terminals will see clouds decrease during the evening with mainly clear skies overnight. Western terminals will see a low to medium chances for patchy dense fog between 09 and 13z with the better chance outside of the Nashville metro. Low clouds will build in over the Plateau as the evening goes on and IFR/LIFR cigs are expected after 06z. They will also see periods of dense fog between 06 and 15z. All terminals will see VFR conditions by 15z with clear skies by the afternoon. Light winds overnight increase up to 8 knots out of the west. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
