UPDATE
 
 
ISSUED AT 831 PM CST SAT NOV 30 2024  
 
A LONG WAVE TROUGH IS SET UP OVER THE EASTERN US WITH A SHORT  
WAVE PASSING TO OUR NORTH. WE ARE SEEING SOME LIGHT RADAR RETURNS  
FROM THIS OVER OUR AREA WITH PLENTY OF COLD AIR IN PLACE. OUR DEW  
POINT DEPRESSIONS ARE QUITE LARGE THOUGH (10+ DEGREES) AND THE 00Z  
OHX SOUNDING SHOWS PLENTY OF DRY AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS. MOST OF  
THIS ACTIVITY WILL NOT REACH THE GROUND BUT CAN'T RULE OUT A FEW  
FLURRIES INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT. NO ACCUMULATION OR TRAVEL  
ISSUES. CLOUD COVER WILL STICK AROUND TONIGHT AND THAT WILL KEEP  
THINGS WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT BUT IT WILL STILL BE COLD WITH LOWS  
IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S. CLOUD COVER WILL LINGER TOMORROW  
MORNING BUT WE SHOULD START TO SEE SOME CLEARING IN THE AFTERNOON.  
 

 
   
SHORT TERM
 
 
(REST OF TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)  
ISSUED AT 1137 AM CST SAT NOV 30 2024  
 
TEMPERATURES ARE WARMING UP NICELY THIS MORNING CONSIDERING MOST GOT  
DOWN INTO LOW 20S! CURRENT OBSERVATIONS SHOW A RANGE OF 32 TO 40  
DEGREES. SNOW IS FALLING ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI RIGHT NOW AND  
THE MOVEMENT IS GENERALLY ESE. THE LATEST NBM HAS BROUGHT A TOUCH  
HIGHER POP CHANCES (20%) ACROSS THE TN/KY BORDER STARTING THIS  
AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT OF THE SYSTEM'S  
MOVEMENT, I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE TO MAINTAIN FOR TODAY'S  
FORECAST. IT WILL STILL LIKELY BE SNOW FLURRIES FALLING MAINLY  
ACROSS AREAS NORTH OF I-40. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TOO WARM THIS  
AFTERNOON FOR ANY IMPACTS. OUR 12Z SOUNDING ALSO SHOWED A  
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DRY AIR IN THE SNOW GROWTH REGION (-12 C TO  
-17 C), SO WE'LL NEED THINGS TO MOISTEN UP A LOT MORE IF WE EVEN  
WANT TO SEE FLURRIES.  
 
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE DAY AND  
THIS WILL KEEP LOWS TONIGHT A BIT "WARMER" THAN LAST NIGHT: MID 20S  
ALONG THE PLATEAU AND 29-32 ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA.  
REGARDLESS, STILL AT OR BELOW FREEZING FOR ALMOST EVERYONE.  
 
SUNDAY WILL FEATURE CLEARING SKIES AND AN INCREASING  
NORTHWESTERLY WIND, SETTING THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER VERY COLD NIGHT  
ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE WITH LOWS IN THE TEENS AGAIN ALONG THE  
PLATEAU AND LOW TO MID 20S ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA.  
 

 
   
LONG TERM
 
 
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)  
ISSUED AT 1137 AM CST SAT NOV 30 2024  
 
UPPER-LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST, HELPING INFUSE  
A SERIES OF MOSTLY DRY COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE  
WEEK. DETERMINISTIC MODELS SHOW QUITE THE SPREAD IN PRECIP CHANCES  
AND WITH SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY, NOT MUCH CHANGE MADE TO THE  
EXTENDED. COLD AND MOSTLY DRY IS THE BIG PICTURE RIGHT NOW,  
THOUGH. IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE'LL SEE DAYTIME TEMPERATURES REACH  
BACK INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S NEXT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,  
BUT ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL PUSH TEMPS BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW 40S  
BY FRIDAY.
