.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Monday)
Issued at 1033 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025

The cold front has cleared the area with little fanfare. Other than
a couple blips on radar over Fentress County, the area stayed dry
with the fropa. We have drier air working into the region and RH
values are dropping with values expected to bottom out in the mid
20 to low 30 percent range. With a 10 mph north wind, burning
would not be advisable this afternoon. Surface high pressure is
moving towards the area from the Midwest. Clear skies and calming
winds will lead to a chilly night with lows in the 30s. The
surface high will move east across the area on Monday ahead of a
weak shortwave that will move through the Midwest.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday Night through next Sunday)
Issued at 1033 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025

Ahead of the wave, moist, southerly low-level flow will increase.
Showers and a few rumbles of thunder will be possible Monday night
into Tuesday. The highest chances will be along the TN/KY border (40-
60%) with only low chances (10-20%) of rain along the TN/AL border.
The southerly WAA will continue Wednesday and Thursday which will
keep low to medium rain chances in the forecast. We continue to keep
an eye on a more significant wave that will eject from the
Southwest on Thursday. The trend has been to keep the better
forcing west and north of our area, but this will increase rain
chances Thursday night and Friday. The severe weather and flooding
threat with the system continues to look minimal as instability
is very low and the higher rain totals are expected to stay west
and north of Middle Tennessee. As far as temperatures, above
normal temperatures will continue through the week.
