Nice southwest wind today is going to push the temperatures into the mid-40’s for middle Tennessee. Combine this with a little sunshine and we’ve got MUCH better weather today than last weekend. It won’t last long however as a weak cold front comes through in the overnight to bring area north of I-40 some light snow (on again, off again stuff). The northern plateau should see a little better chance for snow through the day on Sunday but most will just see occasional flurries. Highs tomorrow in the upper 30’s.

Brace for a northwest wind and temperatures falling into the teens this morning. That will mean windchills in the single digits! There may be a few slick spots on the roads this morning (especially the less-travelled roads) but no major problems are expected. Other than some high clouds across the southern half of the state we’ll enjoy sunshine through the day. Afternoon highs will only hit the lower 30s in most spots, but look for middle 40s and blue sky on Saturday (after morning temperatures in the upper teens). Some clouds and a blustery northwest wind on Sunday will keep temperatures in the upper 30s during the second half of the weekend.

Have a great day and stay warm!

Isolated drizzle this morning, with sleet and freezing drizzle possible north of I-40 toward the Kentucky border. More organized rain showers push into Nashville and points south and east by the mid and late morning hours through the early afternoon. A mix of rain, ice and wet snow is possible to the northwest of Nashville in places like Clarksville and Hopkinsville. That wintry mix could push into Nashville as early as the afternoon commute, but temperatures should stay in the middle 30s so we’ll hope the roads don’t become a problem for the drive home. Wet snowflakes are expected on the tail end of this system later this evening. We could see a small accumulation in Nashville, but that’s more likely in northwest Middle Tennessee and the Cumberland Plateau (1″ to 2″ are possible in those areas). We’ll look forward to quieter (but colder) weather tomorrow!

Some schools are closed today - head here and refresh often to check for your district.

Black Ice (the worst of winter’s precipitation) is possible if moisture moves in before daybreak Thursday. This is most likely in areas well south and west of Nashville.
Temperatures for most of us should warm to near 40 for a bulk of the day so a cold rain mixed with some sleet and or wet snowflakes is what we expect for Nashville and most of middle Tennessee. The exception will be the areas northwest of Nashville. It could snow and/or sleet most of the day near Clarksville, Hopkinsville, Waverly and they could get a couple of inches of accumulation. We’ll keep you posted on any travel troubles.

Now, Thursday evening will bring dropping temperatures and we do expect to see a changeover to light snow for most of middle Tennessee. We could end up with an inch on the ground in Nashville… perhaps a couple up on the plateau.

Unless, we do get black ice early Thursday morning… I think it is more likely to see schools impacted on Friday than Thursday. You can constantly check the school closing information at http://www.wkrn.com/

It’s cold this morning, but I’m forecasting sunshine and afternoon highs in the lower 40s. Thursday should bring some cold rain by late morning or midday, with a possible change to a wintry mix by late afternoon and early evening in Nashville. We could see some wet snowflakes by late evening in Nashville, with a better chance of some accumulation in northwest Middle Tennessee, southern Kentucky and northern and central sections of the Plateau. Because much of the mid-state will be on the dividing line between snow and rain…stay tuned as we refine the forecast later today and tomorrow morning!
