Now that our little bit of winter precip is over, it is all rain for here on out!
For the rest of your Monday: We have rain, and lots of it. Some of the rain will be heavy, but the good news is it will start to wind down by this evening. We don’t expect flooding to become a big issue, but some localized problems are possible. The highs today will only be in the low-mid 40°s with a wind chill getting down into the 30°s.

After a few early afternoon hours of sleet and snow, the rain left.
Now the ice is trying to come back for a few hours tonight.

This should work down I-24 this morning, and mainly impact areas along and north of I-40. There is not much of it, but as I write this, temps at the surface and aloft are all below freezing, so it should be snow. Yet the air aloft is also pretty dry, meaning much of this snow will evaporate before we will even see it. So, we think this will be a little “pre-event” light snow, but not a big deal.

Updates from this morning in red.
Precip will move in Sunday afternoon. We are calling it “precip” because it may take many forms during the day and night, depending on the time, your exact location, and maybe even your elevation. This is life in Middle Tennessee, right on the line of stuff.
Current Radar
Notice that the HRRR model has a few flurries possible late this evening as the surface low moves east.
Right now there is no reason to be worried about these.
High pressure will be in full control of our weather for Saturday, driving in frigid temps on a north wind.
Current Radar
We’ll get to the mid/upper 20°s overnight tonight and into Friday morning, but there should not be anything left to freeze.
The snow that was in the Dakotas earlier today has made it down to parts of Iowa and even Missouri this evening:

As you can see from the above radar, a long, narrow ribbon of snow continues to drive down I-24.
Dry air aloft, personified by the Dry Air Monster, has been eating (evaporating) some of the precip, but not all of it. If you have a window, you can verify. The DAM hasn’t been hungry.
Current Radar
Temps will continue to drop overnight. By midnight, everyone should be in the 20°s, on our way to 24° just before sunrise Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, this clipper system continues to rotate light, scattered snowshowers into Middle Tennessee.
