KEY MESSAGES

Updated at 1030 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

- No significant impactful weather expected during the period, but confidence is increasing in the potential of cold conditions early next week (~25% probabilities for low temps in the teens Monday morning).

NEAR TERM

(Tonight) Issued at 230 PM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

Earlier clouds have cleared the area and dry conditions will persist into the overnight period. Winds will begin to increase this evening, with gusts around 20-25 mph expected by daybreak on Wednesday morning. This will result in Wind Chill temps ranging from the mid 20s to lower 30s at the onset of the Wednesday morning commute.

SHORT TERM

(Wednesday through Friday) Issued at 1030 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

The broad sfc ridge will retreat gradually to the east/south into offshore territory as a longwave trough is carved into the East CONUS on Wednesday. Ahead of the trough and a developing sfc front, warm air advection amidst SW flow ahead of the front will propel temperatures into the 50s on Wednesday. Winds may be a bit gusty (~25 mph) at times on Wednesday, but short of any necessary Advisory. The greater combination of dynamic lifting and sufficient moisture will reside in the OH Valley and areas farther to the NE with this system, thus a dry frontal progression is expected across our area. Winds will shift from the NW Wednesday evening with cold air advection allowing temperatures to fall as low as the mid/upper 20s on Thursday morning. Temperatures are expected to be a little colder again on Thursday, in the post-cold frontal air mass, however, are expected to reach the mid/upr 40s for most locations. The main caveat for Thursday will be the cloud cover. The majority of ensembles indicate a low cloud deck associated with the cold air mass should largely be to our north, however, there is some disagreement among members, with some indicating a low cloud presence over part of the area (greater probabilities over northern locations).

LONG TERM

(Thursday night through Monday) Issued at 1025 PM CST Mon Dec 8 2025

Slightly cooler than seasonal temperatures are forecast Thursday night, with lows falling into the low/mid 30s. Closer to normal readings will return on Friday with highs into the mid/upper 50s under partly sunny skies. With cloud cover on the increase, lows Fri night should range in the 30s.

Yet another storm system moving in from the WNW will bring lower end chances of showers across mainly the western areas Saturday afternoon. Rain chances should spread eastward across the Valley Saturday night, then end from west to east over our eastern areas Sunday morning. This system will bring colder air from up north to across the eastern CONUS early next week. Lows Sat night should cool from the upper 20s our Tennessee counties to mid 30s south of the Tennessee River. A chilly airmass will be more noticed Sunday, with highs only in the upper 30s north to mid 40s south. The start of the next work week, Monday will be on the cold side, with highs during the day into the mid/upper 40s.
