ISSUED AT 1048 AM CST WED DEC 24 2025
MIDDLE TENNESSEE FINDS ITSELF IN A COL AREA THIS MORNING, WITH
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE EAST
AND WEST. A WEAK LATITUDINALLY-ORIENTED SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS
DEVELOPED OVER THE REGION, AND THIS IS RESULTING IN THE ADDITIONAL
CLOUDINESS ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE, ALONG WITH A FEW LIGHT,
SPOTTY SHOWERS. THE NEAR-RECORD TEMPERATURES WE'RE OBSERVING WILL
CONTINUE ON CHRISTMAS AND BEYOND.
LONG TERM
(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 1048 AM CST WED DEC 24 2025
LOOK FOR LOW RAIN CHANCES THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. A SURFACE
BOUNDARY LOOKS TO ROTATE ACROSS THE MID STATE ON FRIDAY, SO THESE
PERSISTENT RAIN CHANCES WILL END IN MOST AREAS BY FRIDAY EVENING.
SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE QUITE PLEASANT, BUT MUCH HIGHER RAIN CHANCES
WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG COLD FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. INDEED, SUNDAY WILL BE OUR LAST WARM
DAY FOR AWHILE. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL DRAMATICALLY SUNDAY NIGHT,
WITH A RETURN TO WINTER COLD THAT WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT NEXT
WEEK. AT THIS TIME, IT APPEARS THAT A FEW LOCATIONS MAINLY NORTH
OF I-40 COULD SEE LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION SUNDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY MONDAY, BUT ADVERSE IMPACTS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. THE BULK
OF NEXT WEEK LOOKS TO BE FREE OF ACTIVE WEATHER, BUT IT IS
PROBABLE THAT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMS AT
LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT (QUITE THE TURNAROUND FROM THIS
WEEK'S BALMY WEATHER).
