Windy with Light Rain Overnight…. Morning Flurries
Winds will gust between 30 and 40mph for a time Thursday night and continue to be quite strong on Friday.
National Weather Service has a Wind Advisory in effect.
The heavy rains, sleet, hail, lightning, thunder, etc has pushed out of middle Tennessee by 10:30pm. We will continue to have light rain showers with temperatures well above freezing so no freezing on roads expected.
Early morning flurries will fly in the northern half of the state but most likely not enough to accumulate. Temps should remain just above freezing.
We do have a Winter Weather Advisory for the northwest corner of middle Tennessee which has the best likelihood of those morning snow showers.
Rain/Sleet/Snow…. Thunder/Hail…. You Name It!
Weird and wacky weather across middle Tennessee this afternoon and evening.
The comments on the previous entry have been invaluable on the mix of precip and thunder reports! (Thanks, Ryan!!
)
The pockets of sleet/snow mixing with rain will continue through the early evening as temps drop a degree or two.
That means areas west of I-65 which never got above 34 -35 degrees could drop to near freezing as the sun sets around 5:12pm through mid-evening and that could make for slippery driving conditions.
There is a Winter Weather Advisory for areas northwest of Nashville not only for evening icing but snow showers could coat surfaces overnight into early Friday… again, especially northwest of Nashville.
Nashville south and east could drop to the mid 30s during the evening with pockets of sleet/snow mix trying to coat the ground in spots but I believe the temp will actually go up a few degrees to near 40 by 9 - 10pm and we may have a few more thunderstorms which could produce pockets of hail.
From Nashville east lows should stay at 35 degrees plus so early morning snow showers may coat surfaces but roads should remain mainly wet. BUT BE CAREFUL… it will be tricky knowing where the dividing line is.
Snow showers could last on and off until noonish… especially east of Nashville on Friday. Not expecting significant accumulation but temps and winds will be cold… about 38 degrees for the high with a cold west wind at 15 to 20mph.
Please keep posting the conditions where you live… don’t forget to say where that is!! Thanks in advance!
Ice in SW Cheatham
Narrow Band of Icing
Best we can tell from reports is that a narrow band of sleet/freezing rain has set up west and southwest of Nashville from Centerville to Dickson to Ashland City… and still falling. Ice is accumulating in Hickman County. This is likely clipping the very western edge of Williamson County (where schools are closed in the entire country because of it).
Ice Event in Hickman County
Ryan in Hickman County shows us that while some got ice/snow or just snow where he lives in Hickman County it’s an ice storm dropping some branches and icing up the roads:
Weather Pix from Nashflix.Com
Here are some snow pictures sent into Nashflix.com … don’t know who or where but they show some snowy roads!
Winter Mix Update
The dry air advecting in from the east is holding the precipitation along I-65 and west. It continues to develop south of Nashville in Maury County but nothing hitting the ground yet in Columbia. Meanwhile to the west and northwest of Davidson County as much as an inch of snow mixed with ice has fallen. It is warming up; soon all of this will turn over to rain.
