319 FXUS64 KOHX 010511 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1111 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1111 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 - Our precipitation chances will resume Monday afternoon and will continue into Tuesday. Storm total QPF values range from 0.5" to 1" across Middle Tennessee. - There are low to medium chances for light snowfall accumulations mainly north of I-40 Monday night and early Tuesday, especially northwest Middle Tennessee. Chances for 1" or greater accumulation are very low (<20%) at this time. - Temperatures will remain below seasonal norms for the next several days. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday Night) Issued at 1111 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 Some high clouds out there right now on satellite across Middle Tennessee. Radiational cooling should be a bit more successful tonight, with lows getting into the low 20s and possibly even the teens on the Cumberland Plateau. An inverted trough will be entering the mid-state from the south tomorrow afternoon, which will bring a large swath of precipitation across the area through Tuesday morning/early afternoon. Guidance is showing that we will start off this afternoon/evening with cold rain, and transition into a wintry precipitation situation overnight and into Tuesday morning in some areas. Mixed precipitation continues to be a possibility, but probabilities continue. Right now, the area north of I-40 looks to be the most likely to receive this mixed/wintry precipitation. Probabilities of at least 0.01" of freezing rain, so not a lot but still enough to cause some problems, are less than 20%. This is a decent drop from the higher probabilities in the models yesterday evening. Snow totals have also dropped for this event, with expected snow totals right now under half an inch. The area remains north of I-40 for those most likely to see snow, with probabilities for over half an inch around 20 - 40% north of I-40. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 1111 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 The pattern after this system will remain active in Middle Tennessee. Another system will end our brief cold and dry period, which will bring more precipitation to the mid-state. Looks like it could be another mixed precipitation event as well, so we will continue to monitor these tricky systems in the forecast. Below- normal temperatures look to persist through the forecast period as well. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1025 PM CST Sun Nov 30 2025 Northeasterly winds will become more easterly after 12Z, with mostly high clouds through the day. In the 18Z-00Z time frame more mid-clouds will begin to creep in, with a rapid reduction in CIGS and VIS around 00Z as precipitation moves in from the south. by about 03Z MVFR VIS and IFR CIGS can be expected at all TAF sites. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
