235 FXUS63 KJKL 291218 AFDJKL AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Jackson KY 718 AM EST Sat Nov 29 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - A round of light precipitation, mainly rain, is expected tonight into Sunday. - A more significant precip event may come Monday night and Tuesday, with a little bit better potential for wintery precipitation, especially north of the Mountain Parkway. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 718 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025 A return of warm air advection and at least some limited sun will give modestly warmer temps for today. The approach of our next weather system will give us an increase in clouds, especially late in the day. The next system is low pressure currently centered near the OK/KS state line. It will move east northeast along with its upper level support, passing over the Great Lakes on Sunday. Warm air advection ahead of the system`s cold front may bring precipitation to our area tonight into Sunday. Some of this could come as snow north of I-64 before the column warms up enough for all rain. However, precip amounts should remain light and temperatures above freezing, so no problems are expected. The system`s cold front passes through on Sunday and high pressure then begins to build in from the northwest with another cold air mass, shutting down our short-lived warm-up and bringing a return of dry conditions. However, the dry weather also looks to be brief. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 718 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025 Another upper level wave dropping southeast over the western CONUS during the weekend will then head east. It will prompt surface low development which is expected to track across the Deep South Monday night and then turn up the East Coast on Tuesday. The relatively large system will throw moisture northward over our cooler air, likely bringing another round of precip. With a southerly track, we will remain in colder air and will have a stronger threat of wintery precip, especially in our northern counties. At this point it looks like a nuisance type system, but changes to the outlook may occur. Once it passes, dry weather and another round of cold air arrive. Yet another system may affect the area by Friday. This one looks like it travels across the Deep South again, but is less organized. Even so, models show overrunning precip as far north as KY, but with an atmosphere probably warm enough for rain. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) ISSUED AT 718 AM EST SAT NOV 29 2025 VFR conditions are expected through the period. However, clouds will be increasing and lowering with time. Light rain will be a possibility during the night, but it is not likely to result in significantly degraded conditions. Low level wind shear is a possibility during the night. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ SHORT TERM...HAL LONG TERM...HAL AVIATION...HAL |
