481 FXUS64 KOHX 221131 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 531 AM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 ...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... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 524 AM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 A thick layer of clouds has consistently stayed right around 4kft all night around CKV, BNA, and MQY. With that, keeping the taf VFR as visible satellite currently shows some of that cloud shield starting to break apart. Observations upstream do show cigs bouncing between VFR and MVFR, so that is not out the question for our terminals here in middle TN. CSV and SRB cigs are MVFR. Improvement to VFR is possible later this morning, but similar to above, cigs could bounce between VFR and MVFR through the day. Winds will be gusty again today at all terminals with gusts near 20kts out of the northwest. Winds will relax after 00Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
