.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday Night)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

A cold front will continue making its way through the area tonight.
While it does so, there does remain low chances (10-20%) for
light showers overnight, mainly along the Plateau. But by
daybreak, the front will have cleared the area, and dry conditions
will once again make their return to Middle TN. Northerly winds
post-front will be brisk with occasional gusts of 15-25 mph, and
temperatures will be much cooler with highs in the 70s. Cloud
cover will be persistent throughout much of the day Wednesday, but
will clear by the evening hours. With a much cooler airmass in
place and mostly clear skies, lows Wednesday night and into
Thursday morning will be chilly with temperatures falling into the
mid and upper-40s for much of the area. Calm weather continues
into Thursday with highs in the upper-60s along the upper Plateau
and in the 70s elsewhere.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

A benign weather pattern persists through the long-term as weak
ridging results in a gradual warm-up. Highs each day will warm a few
degrees so that by Sunday, many locations will be near 80 once
again. And temperatures will even be in the mid-80s during the
middle of next week. As for rain, there`s none in the forecast
through at least Wednesday and likely beyond as ridging dominates.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025

IFR vis/cig is impacting MQY, SRB, and CSV at this hour. This will
probably persist overnight across the east, but an approaching
front should improve conditions at MQY in the next 2-3 hours as
winds increase from the NW (IFR cigs slower to erode). The front
is near BNA as I write this, so VFR looks to continue, though
increasing clouds are expected with MVFR cigs likely through
~17z. Some IFR cigs have been TEMPO`d for BNA through early
morning as well. Winds behind the front will favor a N direction
at 8-12 kts gusting to ~20 kts through much of the TAF period. VFR
area- wide mid afternoon with clear skies by sunset.
