224 FXUS64 KOHX 240431 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1031 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1014 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 - A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Monday for northern and northwest Middle Tennessee. - Showers and thunderstorms will become likely Monday night and Tuesday. There is a very low chance of severe storms early Tuesday, mainly south of I-40. - Expect drier and much cooler weather Wednesday through Friday with widespread sub-freezing temperatures Wednesday and Thursday nights. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday Night) Issued at 935 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for northern and northwest portions of Middle Tennessee until 10 a.m. Monday. A swath of dense fog and low stratus has crept into northwest Middle Tennessee, and is likely to expand further into the mid state. Widespread visibilities of 1/4 mile or less are expected in the advisory area. Synoptically, surface high pressure and an upper ridge will slide across the region overnight and early Monday, which will set us up with some return flow just ahead of an approaching low pressure system that is currently gathering steam over the Great Plains. As this system tracks toward the east, we can expect showers to begin spreading into Middle Tennessee late tomorrow and certainly tomorrow evening. Some convective development is also possible late Monday night and early Tuesday as a pre-frontal trough provides some additional forcing. There is a marginal risk of severe storms for early Tuesday in areas south of I-40, but it appears that the best chance for any sort of wind threat will remain south of Middle Tennessee. QPF totals from Monday afternoon through Tuesday evening range from less than 3/4" near the TN/KY line to more than 1" near the TN/AL line, and the 19Z NBM is giving a 64% probability of at least 1" of rainfall at BNA Monday night and Tuesday. The actual cold fropa is likely to occur late Tuesday and Tuesday evening, with significantly cooler temperatures filtering in behind the boundary. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 935 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Temperatures are going to nosedive just in time for Thanksgiving. Minimum temperatures Thursday morning will likely fall into the mid 20s to low 30s, and in the 20s across all of Middle Tennessee Friday morning before we start to warm back up. The next active weather system looks to bring rain to Middle Tennessee beginning Saturday or Saturday night, and continuing into the following week. At this time, the 19Z NBM is hinting at a significant, days- long rainfall event that definitely warrants keeping an eye on. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1014 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Dense fog has settled into CKV and will remain through the early to mid morning. There is a lot of uncertainty how far south the fog will make it and if it will impact BNA/MQY. At this point, it looks like there is a low to medium chance fog does impact BNA/MQY. Models have backed off on fog developing at CSV/SRB. For the terminals impacted by fog, VFR conditions are expected to return by 15-16z. Some showers could impact CKV/BNA/MQY from around 00z and onward. Calm winds will increase to 5 kts during the morning and remain for the rest of the taf period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
