...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 135 AM CST Fri Nov 22 2024

Had a few reports of snow flurries earlier on the Upper Plateau.
Satellite is showing the final band of precipitation heading to
the northeast counties and it will be possible to squeeze out a
dusting before sunrise. These showers aren/t really showing up on
radar as they are below the beam. Will be interesting to see if
any COOP sites get to measure the first snow of the season across
Fentress...Pickett...or Overton Counties.

Once this precipitation leaves the area it will continue to be
cold and breeze today with a warmup in temperatures through
Saturday.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday Night through next Friday)
Issued at 135 AM CST Fri Nov 22 2024

The long term starts out dry and actually quite nice for late
November. High temperatures on Sunday will be in the lower to
middle 60s for the most part with southerly winds. It will be a
great day to finish any outside chores one might have.

The remainder of the long term forecast is quite unsettled and
reminds me of an October pattern and not November. Rainy Monday
and Monday night with a break on Tuesday and the next front for
Wednesday and Thanksgiving. Heavy rainfall could be possible at
times. Right now storm total QPF looks a bit high at 2+ inches
from Wednesday through Friday...but even cutting this in half it
could be a very wet time period. WPC has been messaging heavy
rainfall so please stay tuned. There could even be some embedded
thunderstorms Wednesday night. Something else to keep watching
too.

For temperatures...Monday will be the warmest day with highs
approaching 70 west of the plateau and then abruptly back to
fall/winter and close to climatology for this time of year.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1119 AM CST Fri Nov 22 2024

Cloud deck persists across Middle TN, but everybody has gone VFR
for the time being. This won`t last as MVFR cigs are expected to
return for all terminals after 02Z this evening. CSV might even
see IFR by 06Z. Cats will start to improve 16Z/Sat.

Winds will be westerly, then become northwesterly overnight with
continued breezy conditions. Winds should start to relax before
dawn on Saturday.
