.UPDATE...
Issued at 637 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

The cold front is currently making its way through Middle TN,
and as it does so, rain has largely come to an end. At this time,
the heaviest rain is now moving through the far eastern Plateau.
While isolated lingering showers will be possible tonight, this
chance remains low. Rain chances with this forecast update through
the remainder of the night are generally 20-40% favoring the
Plateau. Fog potential overnight should be low as well thanks to
cloud cover. Dry conditions return tomorrow with cooler
temperatures. High temperatures will be in the 70s with gusty
northerly winds at around 15-25 mph in the wake of the front.

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Wednesday)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

Surface low pressure just north of Clarksville will move eastward
across southern Ky through the rest of the day. Bands of showers
will occur along the trailing trough in Middle Tn. So far, the
heaviest rainfall has occurred up in Ky, but we may see a few
moderate downpours and a few rumbles of thunder as a little more
instability develops this afternoon. No severe storms are
expected. A spot or 2 of brief street flooding may occur under
heavier downpours, but overall, additional rainfall amounts under
1 inch should not cause flooding problems. Winds will be a bit
gusty around 25 mph at times through mid afternoon, then the
gustiness will decrease heading into the evening.

Scattered light showers will linger this evening and into the late
night as a cold front drops into the area. Most of the rain will
be done by daybreak Wednesday, but clouds and a few drips will
linger well into the morning. The Plateau and southeast may hang
on to clouds all day. Cooler and drier north to northeast winds
will kick in by midday with gusts near 25 mph at times. Highs will
be in the seasonally appropriate lower to mid 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday Night through next Tuesday)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

Cooler and dry conditions are expected through the rest of the
week as surface high pressure from the Great Lakes and New England
extends down into Tennessee. Moisture profiles suggest post-
frontal clouds will be slow to exit the Plateau and southeast
Wednesday night and into Thursday as well. Otherwise, conditions
will be a bit breezy Wednesday night through Thursday with cool
northeast winds gusting over 20 mph at times. Lows by Thursday
morning will dip into the upper 40s and lower 50s. Highs Thursday
will be on the cool side or normal, in the upper 60s and lower
70s.

As we go through the weekend into next week, upper level heights
will rise and this will return us to the familiar pattern for this
fall- dry with warm days and seasonable nights.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Tue Oct 7 2025

A surface cold front has made almost all the way through Middle
Tennessee as we head into the evening. There are some lingering
showers still impacting the Cumberland Plateau, but for the bulk
of the mid state, the showers have ended. There will be a break of
a few hours between the fropa and the onset of low ceilings as a
swath of post-frontal moisture swings through the region beginning
later this evening. Overnight radiation fog will be present but
limited owing to winds staying up a few knots with the wind shift.
Low ceilings will be slow to erode during the day tomorrow.
