The episode as NWS OHX wrote it up.
With much of the month of November 2022 remaining abnormally dry, drought conditions across Middle Tennessee worsened. By the end of November, 100 percent of Middle Tennessee was in at least moderate drought with about 34 percent in severe drought. Drought conditions worsened the most for counties near the Tennessee River and those along and near the Cumberland Plateau. For much of the month, precipitation totals were well below normal, generally ranging from 1 to 3 inches. A beneficial storm system brought widespread rainfall during the last couple days of November that should help improve drought conditions in the next updates in December.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1243 AM CDT Tue Nov 1 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 918 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 Have a few lingering sprinkles along the Upper Cumberland this evening, otherwise cloudy conditions remain on this spooky evening. Patchy fog is expected to develop over a good portion of the area overnight, with clearing shortly after sunrise. No major changes to the forecast as temps will be slightly warmer tomorrow with drier conditions. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday Night) Issued at 128 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 Upper trough swinging by to our north is bringing through enough moisture to keep us mostly cloudy today, with even a few light showers showing up on the 88D this afternoon. Look for clouds to start to break apart tonight with some sunshine likely tomorrow as temperatures warm into the 70's across much of Middle Tennessee. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 128 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 Temperatures are going to remain above normal through the weekend and likely into next week absent of any strong cold fronts. In fact, next chance of rain looks to hold off until Saturday or Saturday night with the approach of the next surface system. POP's associated with this system aren't very high, QPF's are quite low, and we won't experience an actual fropa even after it passes. So the risk of any hazardous weather for the next 7 days is almost nonexistent. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1236 AM CDT Tue Nov 1 2022 Low level moisture not really expected to scour out until 16Z-18Z. Current cloud cover across the mid state leans toward mostly cloudy. There are a few breaks across the south and with dewpoint depressions close to zero for many areas, fog formation is a good possibility. 1-3sm certainly looks likely as we move toward 12Z. Will even include vsbys as low as 3/4sm for the CSV area. Surface high will build in today along with some weak upper ridging. We do see some mid cloudiness advancing later today as an upper trough begins to amplify a touch across the MS valley. Southwesterly flow aloft should bring the clouds in, but cigs should remain aoa 10kft. Winds looking light and inconsequential. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
