366 FXUS64 KOHX 281037 AFDOHX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 437 AM CST Sat Feb 28 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 428 AM CST Sat Feb 28 2026 - Spring-like weekend with dry and mild conditions. - Low to medium rain chances with mild temperatures throughout next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Sunday Night) Issued at 1010 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026 A 1017mb surface high is smack over Middle TN tonight, and this is promoting cool and very clear conditions. With light winds in place, areas of isolated, patchy fog could develop overnight, mainly over the plateau and near any bodies of water. Much drier air filtered in today, so this will hamper widespread development. Lows will drop into the low to mid 40s overnight. Saturday looks fantastic with mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. As high pressure slips off to our east, surface winds will shift out of the southwest, promoting warm air and moisture advection, helping send temperatures up into the 70s. With the increase in moisture will come an increase in cloud coverage as we head into the early morning hours Sunday. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through next Saturday) Issued at 1010 PM CST Fri Feb 27 2026 By Sunday afternoon, clouds will continue to fill in as our next front approaches from the west. Shower chances will increase early Monday morning to 30-50% with showers lingering the majority of the day. Cooler temperatures will accompany this front with a drop back into the upper 50s to low 60s. Upper-level ridging looks to quickly build in by Tuesday, keeping the rain chances to our north and helping squeeze our temps back up into the 70s. Beyond Tuesday, the forecast looks mild and unsettled with a series of waves bringing rain/storm chances to the area. Increased southwesterly flow will pull anomalously high moisture in, setting the stage for repeated rounds of rain. Currently, the greatest risk for any flash flooding looks to remain just to our north and west as higher PWAT values reside over those areas, but this will depend on where surface boundaries decide to set up and stall out. At present, total QPF amounts through next weekend are currently ranging from 1-2" with only a 25% chance of exceeding 2". With regards to thunderstorms, severe weather looks unlikely at this time. A more amplified trough will eject out of the Great Plains by Wednesday, tracking a surface low to our north. Soundings do not currently boast a severe threat as better dynamic support is to our north with only limited instability, but we will continue to monitor forecast trends throughout the week for any changes. Low to medium rain and storm chances stick with us through next weekend as we remain sandwiched between troughing to our west and high pressure to our east. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 428 AM CST Sat Feb 28 2026 High pressure remains the dominant weather feature keeping tafs VFR. Under gradually increasing cirrus clouds, winds will be light, mainly SSW through the next 24 hours. Around 01/12Z (daybreak Sunday morning), a cold front will drop into the area with winds becoming N 5-10KT at CKV/BNA/MQY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
