.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Thursday night)
Issued at 1103 AM CST Wed Jan 29 2025

Temperatures are sitting in the upper 40s to mid 50s currently
with just some scattered high clouds over the area. The high cloud
cover will increase this evening ahead of the next system. An
upper level low will eject out of the Four Corners this evening
with a surface low developing over the ArkLaTex region Thursday
morning. The surface low will move northeastward with a warm
front lifting into the western portion of Middle Tennessee
Thursday morning bringing showers with it. Showers will enter the
western counties around or just after 12z. Those showers will lift
northeast as the day progresses. Another wave of showers will
move through the area Thursday night as a weak cold front passes.
Rain will be heavy at times Thursday night with PWAT values
peaking at around 1.5". The overall motion will be progressive
enough to prohibit a widespread flood threat. HREF and NBM
probabilities show a medium to high chance (60-80%) that locations
in the northwest i.e. Stewart/Houston/Montgomery counties pick up
greater than 2 inches of rainfall through Thursday night.
Ensembles show a low chance (20-30%) of rainfall exceeding 2.5" in
the same area. Elsewhere in the area, rain totals will generally
range from 1-2". Winds will be gusty Thursday afternoon through
Thursday night as the surface low deepens. Wind gusts between
20-30 mph can be expected.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 1103 AM CST Wed Jan 29 2025

A few showers will linger on Friday as the trough axis passes
through the area. Once the system passes, the temperatures will
remain above average. Highs on Saturday will be in the 50s with
conditions warming into the 60s on Sunday. Ensembles show a low to
medium chance temperatures reach at least 70 degrees in the
southwest and Nashville metro area on Monday. The next chance of
rain will hold off until at least Tuesday but there are still a
lot of uncertainties regarding the arrival of some colder air and
the associated rain chances with that front.
