770 FXUS64 KOHX 222319 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 619 PM CDT Thu May 22 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 616 PM CDT Thu May 22 2025 - Cooler and drier weather will persist through Friday. - Rain and storm chances will return Saturday and into next week. The severe weather risk is low. - Temperatures will stay at or below seasonal normals until late next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Friday) Issued at 1014 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025 Middle Tennessee is enjoying abundant sunshine today as high pressure builds in from the northern Great Plains. Mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures will last through tomorrow before our next rain chances arrive just in time for the weekend. && .LONG TERM... (Friday Night through next Thursday) Issued at 1014 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025 Rain and storm chances will return to the forecast Friday night and Saturday as a warm front develops to our south and a swath of moisture rides down the northwest flow aloft. This will set in motion a days-long stretch of active weather during which a series of shortwaves will bring medium to high rain chances to Middle Tennessee. At this time, the NBM suggests that Sunday and Monday will be our two raniest days. (The 07Z solution gives a 44% probability of measuring 1" or more of rain at BNA Sunday and Sunday night, and a 51% probability Monday and Monday night.) It appears that rain chances will drop off considerably after Tuesday, with temperatures slowly warming up to seasonal normals later in the week. At this time, the risk of severe storms through day 8 is very low for our area. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 616 PM CDT Thu May 22 2025 VFR conditions through the TAF period. Mid level clouds passing through the region. Breezy northerly winds diminish to under 8 knots in the next hour or so. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
