.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Sunday night)
Issued at 1034 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

An upper level low pressure system from the Mid Ms Valley will
move southeast, crossing Middle TN this weekend. Clouds were
already thickening across the area midday Saturday. Radar showed
light returns from the mid level clouds northwest of Nashville,
but so far surface reports are indicating only sprinkles. This
pattern will continue through most of this afternoon, but by late
day, measurable and more steady rain will begin to spread into our
northwest counties. The light rain will then spread area-wide
through tonight. We cannot rule out a few rumbles of thunder late
tonight into Sunday morning as mid level lapse rates steepen under
the low pressure center, but no significant impacts are expected.
By the time the rain tapers down late Sunday, most areas will
have around one quarter to maybe one half inch.

A few light showers may linger into Sunday evening for the
Plateau, otherwise, surface high pressure will start to move in.
The partial clearing and light winds will set the stage for fog
late Sunday night into Monday morning, impacting the Monday
morning commute.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through next Saturday)
Issued at 1034 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

The work week may have a rather foggy start, otherwise we are
looking for mainly dry conditions through at least Thursday. The
week will start off cool, but temps will creep up to slightly to
the warm side of normal by midweek.

By the time we reach the weekend, a couple of troughs with surface
fronts will be on approach. The first is shown with scattered
light showers Friday into Saturday. The second looks stronger
with showers and some storms possible by Sunday. Nothing screams
severe wx at this point, but the system looks dynamic with a good
deal of wind energy, so it will need to be monitored for at least
some storm potential with gusty winds if enough instability can
develop ahead of its quick arrival.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 631 AM CDT Sat Nov 1 2025

VFR conditions will remain in place through today with thick mid
level cigs developing around 10 kft then gradually lowering to 5
kft and possibly producing a few sprinkles. Conditions will
continue to lower tonight, down to MVFR for most areas as
sprinkles increase to sustained light rain. Winds will generally
be light and mainly from the south.
