.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...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 522 PM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

Look for another night and another day with low ceilings across
Middle Tennessee, with also some evening and overnight fog
primarily along and near the Cumberland Plateau. An inverted
surface trough has already slipped past the mid state, and an
upper trough currently situated to our west will come through
later tonight that looks to produce light precipitation, mainly
across the Cumberland Plateau, hence the PROB30 remarks at KCSV
and KSRB. Elsewhere, PoPs are too low to warrant mention in the
TAFs. There isn`t a great deal of antecedent moisture across the
region, despite the persistent low clouds; the 00Z sounding from
OHX shows a moist column up to ~800 mb, then much drier above.
Expect low clouds to linger at least through Monday, with surface
winds increasing from the NNW later this evening and persisting
tomorrow.
