NEAR TERM

(Today) Issued at 1116 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

Expect cloudy skies this afternoon, with high temperatures around the u60s-l70s for our area. Overnight there is a moderate chance for showers associated with a front. Lows will fall to the m-u40s after the front passes. There is a midlevel trough moving through our area today, heading southeast towards the FL panhandle. Mid-high level clouds are associated with it, and are expected to break by this afternoon, if they don't it will keep lower ceiling on our high temps today. There is a low chance (10%) for scattered showers this afternoon.

A surface low is currently sitting near the Missouri and Iowa border will move eastward over the Ohio river valley today and tonight bringing a surface front through our area. Model guidance currently shows the front moving into our area around 2-3 UTC, though some models show an hour earlier. Scattered showers will be moving through our area tonight along this frontal boundary. Areas impacted by stronger cells could see localized rainfall near 0.15 inches. The frontal boundary will move past our area by 6 UTC, though some model runs show it moving out as early as 5 UTC. As the front moves out of our area, winds will shift northwesterly, bringing some cooler temperatures into our area, dipping down to the m-u40s right before sunrise.

SHORT TERM

(Thursday through Friday) Issued at 1116 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

A first cold front should be situated south and east of the area by Thu morning, with a reinforcing front moving across in the afternoon. Both boundaries will bring colder air across the region. Unlike today (Wed) with highs in the upper 60s/near 70, temperatures will be cooler, only rising into the upper 50s north to lower 60s south. As high pressure builds southward from northern Canada, temperatures will fall Thu evening with a good portion of the Valley at or below freezing by Fri morning. A chilly day can be expected Fri with highs warming only into the lower 50s.

LONG TERM

(Friday night through Tuesday) Issued at 935 PM CST Tue Nov 10 2026

Widespread freezes are expected both Saturday and Sunday mornings as a large upper low/trough over the eastern CONUS slowly shifts east. A negatively tilted trough axis will enter the Plains through the western Gulf of America by Sunday. The southern stream Jet will help to strengthen this trough over the Gulf, but also keep surface cyclogensis and the low track in the central Gulf. High pressure will remain a dominant feature over the eastern Great Lakes and OH valley. The combination of the high and low positions will maintain an easterly dry and cool flow across the TN valley. Only slight temperature modifications will result Monday and Tuesday, with highs in the upper 50s to around 60, and lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s in southern middle TN and lower to middle 30s in north AL.

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1151 AM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

A few light showers were moving in a west to east manner across the area. These being caused by weak upward motion across the region. A cold front located from south of the Great Lakes to West TX will move SE across the TN Valley tonight. Scattered shower chances warrant a PROB30 this evening, with VSBY/CIG reduced to MVFR at times. Winds should veer from the SW to NW in the overnight as the front moves by. A strong enough wind field aloft is sufficient to produce Low- Level Wind Shear into the late night. Winds aloft should subside early Thu morning.
