..NEW AVIATION
 
 
   
SHORT TERM
 
 
(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)  
ISSUED AT 127 AM CST SAT NOV 30 2024  
 
COLD AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE EARLY THIS  
SATURDAY MORNING. BNA HAS FINALLY HIT FREEZING FOR THE FIRST TIME  
THIS FALL SEASON. THE AIRPORT DIPPED TO 31 JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT  
(NOVEMBER 29), SETTING A NEW RECORD FOR THE LATEST FIRST FREEZE.  
THE PREVIOUS RECORD WAS NOVEMBER 27, 2009. UNDER DRY HIGH  
PRESSURE, TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL WITH DAYBREAK  
READINGS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO MID 20S.  
 
DAYTIME WILL BRING A FRIGID BUT SUNNY START, THEN CLOUDS WILL  
INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AS A CLIPPER  
SYSTEM SWINGS ACROSS MO/IA AND MOVES ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. MODELS OVER  
THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN KEEPING MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION WITH  
THIS SYSTEM UP TO OUR NORTH AND THIS PATTERN CONTINUES TODAY.  
THERE ARE WINTER ADVISORIES IN PLACE FOR LIGHT SNOW FROM MO,  
ACROSS NORTHERN KY INTO WV, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU HAVE  
TRAVEL PLANS TOWARD THE NORTH. HERE IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE, ONLY A  
FEW OUTLYING MODELS SHOW ANYTHING MORE THAN TRACE PRECIPITATION  
AMOUNTS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. FORECAST ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE  
PROFILES LOOK QUITE DRY BELOW 800MB, SO WE WILL INCLUDE JUST THE  
POSSIBILITY FOR SOME PASSING SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES WITH NO  
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN SECTIONS. HIGHS TODAY WILL REACH  
THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S WITH LOWS TONIGHT MOSTLY UPPER 20S AND  
LOWER 30S.  
 
BEHIND THE CLIPPER SYSTEM, ANOTHER COLD, DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL  
MOVE IN WITH EVEN COLDER AIR, ESPECIALLY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH  
TUESDAY WHEN MANY AREAS WILL HAVE LOWS IN THE TEENS AND HIGHS ONLY  
IN THE 30S. NOTHING RECORD SETTING, BUT IT WILL BE 15 TO 20  
DEGREES BLOW NORMAL. BRRRRRRR!!!  
 

 
   
LONG TERM
 
 
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)  
ISSUED AT 127 AM CST SAT NOV 30 2024  
 
THE EXTENDED FORECAST CONTINUES TO SHOW BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES  
AND LITTLE IF ANY PRECIPITATION. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A COUPLE  
OF LATE WEEK COLD FRONTS THAT COULD CONTAIN SOME LIGHT SCATTERED  
PRECIPITATION. MODELS SPREADS ARE PRETTY WIDE REGARDING THE TIMING  
OF THESE FEATURES AND EXACT THERMAL PROFILES. THE RESULT IS SOME  
SCATTERED WINTRY PRECIPITATION SHOWING UP DURING THE NIGHTS IN  
THE NBM. GIVEN THE DRY PATTERN AND LOW POPS, ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE  
MADE TO SUPPRESS THESE SEEMINGLY INCONGRUENT TEMP AND PRECIP  
PATTERNS. BOTTOM LINE, MAYBE A FEW PASSING RAIN SHOWERS AHEAD OF  
EACH FRONT.  
 

 
   
AVIATION
 
 
(18Z TAFS)  
ISSUED AT 1127 AM CST SAT NOV 30 2024  
 
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD ALTHOUGH  
THERE'S A LOW POSSIBILITY OF SOME MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 2500FT  
BETWEEN 12Z-16Z BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PUT IN THE FORECAST AT  
THIS TIME. WINDS WILL START OUT LIGHT AND SOUTHWESTERLY BUT  
BECOME NORTHWESTERLY AFTER 12Z WITH A WEAK COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
