Ring in the New Year with Two Wind Chill Advisories

Posted on by David

Two Wind Chill Advisories are in effect.

The first is effective begins at 10 PM and ends at 9 AM Monday morning. A second Wind Chill Advisory goes into effect Monday night at midnight, running until noon Tuesday.No snow, just cold the rest of the week. Below freezing at least through Wednesday, maybe longer. Winds turn south Wednesday, so we may make the mid-30º. If we do, it will break a below-freezing streak that started Saturday night. If not, the streak should end Saturday when we should poke above freezing (but only briefly) in the afternoon. 7 consecutive days completely below freezing would be two days shy of the record of 9 set in 1876 and 1899.

The next precip-maker is expected Sunday/Monday of next week

This system will approach from the southwest, bringing warmer temps and Gulf of Mexico moisture. There’s a “small window” (per NWS-Nashville) where the precipitation may start with a mixture of rain/sleet/snow, but right now we think temps will have warmed sufficiently to make this all rain. NWS-Nashville says this is “nothing to be worried about at this time . . . But something to keep an eye on.”

Here’s a quick year-in-review.
