792 FXUS64 KOHX 161718 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1118 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1116 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 - Cooler, dry weather for tonight and Monday. - Active weather pattern this week with temperatures above normal after Monday. - Best rain chances are Tuesday through Friday with periods of showers and a few thunderstorms. No severe weather expected at this time. && .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. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1116 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 VFR conditions through the TAF period with mostly clear skies. Breezy northerly winds gusting up to 21 knots will gradually diminish as the afternoon goes on and will become light by 00z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
