362 FXUS64 KMRX 131140 AFDMRX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Morristown TN 640 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 638 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 - Moderating temperatures and quiet weather on tap through the end of the week. - Low chances of rain Friday night, slightly better chances Saturday night into Sunday. - Low to medium chances for rain next Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1230 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025 No significant changes nor impacts in this forecast. Dry weather into the weekend, a slight chance of a light shower tomorrow night in southwest Virginia, then a weak front brings more light rain chances Saturday night. The front won`t be dragging in a harsh airmass, and return flow will return mild November air in rather quickly anyways after it. Next week a shortwave is expected to traverse the area from west to east but ENS and GEFS still have a difference in where the accompanying jet streak is and where the surface low is. Those differences will determine how much of the area sees rain on Tuesday. Out west a more active weather pattern will be setting up, but low confidence at this time for how that will evolve and when those systems will make their way eastwards to our portion of southern Appalachia Wednesday and beyond. Otherwise the forecast is for mild temperatures to continue, with Saturday being the best day ahead of the weak cold front. && .AVIATION...
