707 FXUS64 KOHX 071635 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1035 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1035 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 - Low chances for light rain Sunday night. A few snowflakes possible late night as a cold front passes. No accumulations expected. - Next rain chance Wednesday night through Friday, possibly ending with some light snow showers. - Up and down temperatures this week. An Arctic blast arriving late week with frigid temperatures next weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Monday) Issued at 1035 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 Stratus once again is making today another overcast day. I`m not sure we will be in the 50s for highs today with all the cloud cover if it persists. Some locations on the plateau have had sunshine until very recently, which makes me think that some spots that have seen more sun before the clouds came in could reach the low 50s today. The rest of us will remain in the 40s. Some rain chances will begin to impact Middle Tennessee in the evening hours, as a cold front moves in and pulls in just enough moisture to give us some rain, but not much. QPF amounts look pretty dry, with guidance suggesting probabilities for over a tenth of an inch of precipitation are slim (<20%). Overnight into Monday morning, this rain will changeover into flurries, but no accumulation is expected. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 1035 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 After our dreary weekend, high pressure will build in through Wednesday morning, driving temperatures into the 50s for highs. This story changes mid-week, as a trough is expected to dig south and bring more rain chances to Middle Tennessee. Precipitation amounts with this system once again do not look like much in our area, with better chances for a wetting rain in the eastern part of the state. One notable thing is an arctic air mass from close to the arctic circle will be behind another cold front that will move through at the end of the week. We`re still refining exacts with how cold we will get but it looks like this could be our first widespread run at the teens for lows this season. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 525 AM CST Sun Dec 7 2025 FZFG a concern at TAF sites BNA and MQY this morning. It`s been pretty patchy, so it comes and goes in the obs. Visibilities should improve by 17Z if not earlier, and winds will increase. More RA comes in this evening, with more low ceilings that could get into LIFR conditions by 12Z Monday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
