Cold this morning with mostly cloudy skies across the mid-state. Temperatures will hit the middle 50s this afternoon, but with only a few peeks of sunshine and a good breeze it will feel chilly. An isolated flurry or drizzle drop is possible this morning under those clouds in the higher elevations of the mid-state, but it won’t slow things down one bit. Thanksgiving looks cold, with a northwest wind keeping highs in the middle to upper 40s. Black Friday morning looks very chilly, with early morning temperatures in the upper teens!

For travel: a good 3 to 4″ snow fell in the mountains of TN, NC, VA on Tuesday. We do expect some snow today in the lower Great Lakes from Chicago to Cleveland, and a wintry mix is possible in Cincinnati. I’m showing a general travel forecast for Wednesday and Thursday on the morning show, but if you’re travelling I recommend that you head to www.weather.gov and use the National Weather Service’s clickable map of the United States to get the details. Travel safely!

Breezy and colder conditions are in today’s forecast. Morning windchills are in the 30s thanks to a northwest breeze. We will see some sunshine today, although clouds will hang tough most of the day along the Cumberland Plateau. Despite any sun, highs will only hit the middle 40s in most spots. Our northwest wind will blow at 10 to 20 mph the first half of the day and 5 to 15 mph this afternoon.

This Alaskan Malamute (or Siberian Husky?) must have enjoyed the snow in the Welchland Community in Van Buren County Monday evening!

TDOT had to bring the salt trucks out… there was about an inch of accumulation as the morning rain changed over to sleet and snow.

No chance for snow in Nashville but they may get a few more flurries on the northern plateau on Tuesday.

Check out the Middle Tennessee radar loop that’s available at the top of the blog. Through mid-morning, the rain has really been coming down in areas well to the southeast of Nashville. Lewisburg over to Tullahoma and up through Manchester and McMinnville could see a couple of inches of rain before the wet weather moves out this afternoon. Davis will be keeping an eye on things in the Storm Center for the rest of day morning and afternoon.

Middle Tennessee radar loop is here.

Rain moving north from Alabama and Mississippi will bring showers to parts of the mid-state this morning and afternoon. The better shower chance will be south of I-40, and some areas north and west of Nashville will miss out on the rain. Morning temperatures are in the 30s and 40s, and mostly cloudy skies will keep highs in the middle 50s this afternoon. Northwest winds kick in tonight and tomorrow, bringing another surge of chilly air. Tuesday morning lows will dip into the 30s and afternoon highs will struggle to rebound to the middle 40s. Have a great day!
