Thursday – Cool & Small Chance For Showers – Wake Up 54, High 63

The cold front will make its way through Middle Tennessee in the early morning hours which will knock our temps down quite a bit and dry us out as well.

We have a small risk for showers all day and as we move closer to the evening our chances become slight

Mostly cloudy skies and winds from 10 – 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph through out the day.

.The mostly cloudy skies will hang with us over night but the winds will calm.

Friday – Cool & Slight Chance For Showers – Wake Up 46, High 65

Friday will be much like Thursday… We will have gusty winds, cooler temps and a slight chance for showers.

The only difference is that the sun will make an appearance under partly sunny skies!

We will become mostly cloudy over night and still have a slight chance for showers.

Extended Forecast:

We can’t rule out rain during this term due to a series of weak upper level impulses, but no meaningful rain is currently forecast.
