ISSUED AT 957 PM CST WED DEC 24 2025
IT WAS A VERY WARM CHRISTMAS EVE, WITH BNA REACHING 76 DEGREES.
THAT TIES THE DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORD FOR NASHVILLE SET BACK
IN 1964. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE, OUR MORNING LOW TEMPERATURE WAS
62 DEGREES. THE RECORD "WARMEST LOW" FOR THE 24TH IS 61 DEGREES,
SET BACK IN 1875! IF TEMPERATURES REFRAIN FROM FALLING BELOW 62
DEGREES BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, WE'LL SET A NEW RECORD FOR
WARMEST LOW TEMPERATURE AS WELL.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS SITUATED TO OUR SOUTH OVER THE GULF
ASSOCIATED WITH A MID LEVEL RIDGE. A GENERAL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
IS OFF TO OUR NORTH AND IS EXPECTED TO PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTH
TOWARDS MIDDLE TN THURSDAY. THIS FRONT LOOKS TO REMAIN JUST TO
OUR NORTH, BUT WILL OFFER SOME INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND LOW
CHANCES FOR RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH FRIDAY. BEST CHANCES TO SEE ANY
SHOWERS WILL BE ALONG THE KY/TN BORDER AND ALONG THE PLATEAU.
MORE WARM WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR CHRISTMAS DAY WITH HIGHS
REMAINING IN THE 70S WEST OF THE PLATEAU AND PARTLY SUNNY SKIES.
OVER THE PLATEAU, AFTERNOON HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 60S WITH
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 957 PM CST WED DEC 24 2025
NEXT ROUND OF WIDESPREAD RAINFALL ARRIVES SUNDAY WITH AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. INSTABILITY WILL BE LACKING WITH THIS
FRONT AS IT MOVES IN OVERNIGHT, SO NOT EXPECTING ANY SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL WITH THIS. AS THE FRONT SWINGS THROUGH, WINTER
RETURNS, AS WE SEE AFTERNOON HIGHS ONLY REACHING THE 30S AND 40S.
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES FALL BACK INTO THE TEENS AND 20S MONDAY
NIGHT INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. THERE IS A SIGNAL FOR SOME
LOCATIONS, MAINLY N OF I-40 AND OVER THE UPPER CUMBERLAND, COULD
SEE LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY.
THAT SAID, NOT EXPECTING ANY ACCUMULATION AT THIS TIME OR MAJOR
IMPACTS. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS POTENTIAL HEADING INTO THE
WEEKEND.
