SHORT TERM
 
 
(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)  
ISSUED AT 130 AM CST THU NOV 28 2024  
 
IN THE VERY EARLY MORNING HOURS THIS THANKSGIVING, SHOWERS  
ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WERE MOVING  
ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE. BY DAYBREAK, THE LOW CENTER WILL BE OVER  
WEST VIRGINIA, AND THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL HAVE MOVED  
COMPLETELY THROUGH THE MID STATE. MEASURABLE RAINFALL WILL BE DONE  
BY DAYBREAK, BUT SCATTERED DRIPS AND DRIZZLE WILL LINGER FOR A  
WHILE INTO THE MID MORNING HOURS, AND PERHAPS INTO THE EARLY  
AFTERNOON FOR THE PLATEAU. CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OUT FROM  
WEST TO EAST AND IT WILL FEEL QUITE CHILLY. TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD  
MOSTLY IN THE 40S WITH A STEADY NORTHWEST WIND.  
 
COLD AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE AREA TONIGHT  
THROUGH FRIDAY. WE ARE FORECASTING THE FIRST FREEZE OF THIS FALL  
SEASON LATE TONIGHT FOR BNA, AND DESPITE SUNSHINE, HIGHS ON FRIDAY  
WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.  
 

 
   
LONG TERM
 
 
(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)  
ISSUED AT 130 AM CST THU NOV 28 2024  
 
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL OUR WX FRIDAY NIGHT  
INTO SATURDAY WITH THE COLDEST NIGHT SO FAR THIS FALL. LOWS NEAR  
20 WILL BE COMMON. SATURDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES  
BELOW NORMAL FOR HIGHS.  
 
A CLIPPER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION LATE SATURDAY  
AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY NIGHT WITH SOME SNOWFLAKE POTENTIAL.  
LATEST MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD A MORE NORTHERLY TRACK WITH MOST  
OF THE ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE UP ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. THE LATEST  
ENSEMBLE DATA SHOWS LESS THAN A 10 PERCENT CHANCE FOR ANYTHING  
MORE THAN FLURRIES ALONG OUR NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES. HOPES ARE  
SLIGHTLY HIGHER FOR THE UPPER CUMBERLAND WITH A 20 PERCENT CHANCE  
OF A DUSTING, BUT FOR MOST OF US THE QUICK PASSAGE WITH LIMITED  
MOISTURE WILL BRING JUST A FEW FLURRIES. PERHAPS MORE  
SIGNIFICANTLY, THE SYSTEM WILL REINFORCE THE COLD AIR. HIGHS  
SUNDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE 30S, AND LOW SUNDAY NIGHT  
AND EVEN MONDAY NIGHT WILL PLUNGE DOWN INTO THE TEENS FOR MANY  
AREAS.  
 
LOOKING AHEAD, BELOW NORMAL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEEK  
WITH A COLD AND DRY NORTHWEST FLOW. MODELS ARE BRINGING SOME SMALL  
SHOWER CHANCES AROUND MIDWEEK AS ADDITIONAL COLD FRONTS COME OUR  
WAY, BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION  
THROUGH DAY 7 GIVEN THE EXPECTED DRYNESS OF THE AIR.
