ISSUED AT 1048 PM CST MON DEC 22 2025
A DENSE LOW STRATUS DECK HAS BEEN PERSISTENT THIS EVENING AND CAN
BE SEEN ON SATELLITE STRETCHING FROM THE CHICAGO AREA SOUTH
THROUGH MUCH OF ALABAMA. THIS CAN BE SEEN ALONG A WEAK UPPER WAVE
THAT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE NEW ENGLAND COASTAL REGION TOMORROW.
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO BE ON THE WARM SIDE THANKS TO A BUILDING
UPPER RIDGE CENTERED TO OUR WEST THAT WILL SHIFT EAST THROUGH THE
WEEK AND WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A WARM CHRISTMAS FOR THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY. WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY FLOW OVERNIGHT
AND WITH THE CLOUD COVER IN PLACE TEMPS WILL REMAIN ON THE WARM
SIDE. EXPECT LOWS IN THE MID 40S (EAST) TO MID 50S (WEST) WITH
WIND GUSTS UP TO 20MPH AT TIMES THROUGH THE MORNING.
LOW CHANCES FOR LIGHT SHOWERS WILL EXIST ACROSS FAR NW AL AND
SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING AS THE AFOREMENTIONED
UPPER WAVE BECOMES FURTHER DISPLACED FROM THE REGION AND HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S
TOMORROW WITH DECREASING WINDS THROUGH THE DAY. SOME LOCATIONS MAY
EVEN GET TO SEE THE SUN BEFORE IT SETS TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY IN
LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE TN RIVER.
SHORT TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)

UPPER RIDGING AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT INFLUENCE
ON LOCAL CONDITIONS THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY WITH DAILY HIGHS IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S AND LOWS IN THE 50S. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WHILE
OFTEN TIMES WARMER TEMPERATURES IN THE WINTER ARE MET WITH SEVERE
WEATHER ON THE BACK END, THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH
THIS WARM WAVE. SOUTHWEST WINDS COULD BE A LITTLE BREEZY AT TIMES
ON CHRISTMAS DAY WITH GUSTS NEARING 20MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON,
BUT NO IMPACTFUL WEATHER IS FORECAST THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 1048 PM CST MON DEC 22 2025
THE FORECAST REMAINS WARM AND DRY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE
WEEKEND BEFORE A COLD FRONT BRINGS LOW TO MEDIUM RAIN CHANCES AND
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. HIGHS
WILL REMAIN IN THE 70S THROUGH SATURDAY WITH LOWS IN THE 50S AND
EVEN LOWER 60S FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. RAIN CHANCES
WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH SUNDAY MORNING AS THE

AFTERNOON BEFORE TEMPS PLUMMET DOWN INTO THE 20S BY MONDAY
