567 FXUS64 KMRX 121144 AFDMRX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Morristown TN 644 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 643 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 - Moderating temperatures and quiet weather on tap through the end of the week. - Low chances of rain late in the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 103 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 Auroral and starry skies have been gracing across the region so far tonight, with gusty winds at times lending to another cold night. Clear to mostly clear skies are expected to remain until late tomorrow night when patchy fog and high cirrus both may be building in. So, should tomorrow evening also have aurora potential, the local weather here looks favorable again for viewing. This week is dry, with upper ridging to our west and high pressure in the southeast and later Ohio River valley keeping us dry. Nonzero chances off a very weak shortwave for rain in southwest Virginia Friday night, but any rainfall would be negligible. A front sweeps much of the Eastern US Tennessee and north on Sunday, but southward extend looks to be limited. This should equate to mild weather continuing into next week, where confidence is lower on how the next rainy system will evolve from the west. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 643 AM EST Wed Nov 12 2025 VFR and dry weather today. A few gusts at times to 20 knots. Winds will weaken tonight. Patchy fog late in the period, a very low (10%) chance of LIFR conditions. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
