940 FXUS64 KOHX 262314 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 514 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 510 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 - Cooler temperatures persist through Thanksgiving with highs in the 40s and lows in the upper-teens to mid-20s. - High rain chances return this weekend with slightly warmer temperatures. Precipitation chances persist into early next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Thursday Night) Issued at 1013 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 A cold front has cleared the area, and temperatures are noticeably cooler than this time yesterday with current readings in the upper- 40s to low-50s. Behind the front, northwesterly winds are breezy with gusts of 20 to 30 mph, helping it feel cooler despite the sun. Temperatures will continue to fall tonight with lows near the freezing mark, and these colder temperatures will stick around through Thanksgiving Day. Highs for the holiday will only be in the 40s. While not as breezy compared to today, wind gusts of 15 to 20 mph will persist through Thursday afternoon. All in all though, it`ll be a pretty nice holiday with plenty of sunshine and dry conditions. But before you head out for any post-dinner activities, bundle up! With mostly clear skies, our coldest period of this forecast will come Thursday night and into Friday morning with lows in the upper-teens to mid-20s areawide. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1013 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 Calm weather continues into Friday, but it`ll remain cool as our highs stay in the 40s. Temperatures will warm a few degrees this weekend as surface pressure heights rise. Meanwhile, an upper-level trough will be taking shape to our west, and as it approaches, surface winds and flow aloft will become southerly which allows for moisture advection into our area. The upper-level trough tracks through the Ohio River Valley late Saturday and into Sunday, increasing our own rain chances during this time. The NBM maintains high rain chances (60-80%) through Sunday before the trough exits to the east. Rain amounts continue to trend down with new model runs with ensembles giving a low chance (10-20%) that rain amounts exceed 1 inch by Monday morning. A cold front will move through late Sunday and into Monday, bringing another shot of cold air as we start the month of December. From here, models and ensembles are in good agreement that a troughing pattern will persist into next week although they disagree on placement and how any system tracks through the eastern CONUS. At any rate, it does look like next week will stay active maintaining medium (30-60%) chances for precipitation Monday through at least the middle of next week. Something else to watch closely will be the potential for wintry precipitation. Models have trended cooler next week, and depending on timing of precipitation, this could have implications on what type of precipitation we get. At this point, don`t think it`s anything to get too worried about. Ensembles give us about a 10% chance for anything more than a dusting of snow, but of course, stay tuned as the forecast continues to get refined. && .AVIATION...
