.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 1205 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

Upper air analysis this evening features a longwave trough axis
stretching from the Great Lakes Region back through the Southwest
United States with a ridge axis along the West Coast.
Temperatures are similar if not slightly warmer than Thursday
night with late evening temperatures in the 30s as cold air
advection and cloud cover has kept temperatures relatively
steady.

Little if any change is expected in the overall pattern as
northwest flow will persist across the eastern half of the U.S.
into next week with shortwave troughs rotating through the
Mississippi Valley. The first shortwave trough and associated
cold front will move through the Mid-South Sunday into Sunday
night and another trough by late next week. Both of these troughs
are expected to have limited precipitation mitigating the threat
of wintry precipitation, especially Sunday night over northwest
Tennessee as temperatures drop towards freezing. A couple of days
of colder temperatures will follow the mild temperatures with
each frontal passage.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1205 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

Weak warm air advection continues to move across all terminals.
This is an ideal setup for low CIGs and potentially dense fog.
IFR CIGs and VSBYs were introduced at all sites except for JBR,
where drier air still resides. Low CIGs and VSBYs will likely
persist through mid morning on Saturday. There is a 40 to 50%
chance of both LIFR CIGs and VSBYs developing at MEM, MKL, and TUP
over the next couple of hours as winds go calm and the low level
moisture remains trapped. Additionally, there is a 20% chance of
VLIFR CIGs near daybreak at MEM and TUP. Conditions should begin
to improve by Saturday afternoon. Winds will be light from the SW
5 kts or less through the period.

Hi-res guidance is hinting at widespread dense fog developing
near the end of this period as skies finally clear and winds go
calm.

Issued at 1205 AM CST Sat Dec 6 2025

values remaining above 40%. Other than isolated to scattered
showers on Sunday, dry conditions are expected to prevail through
midweek.
