Rain showers are moving from southwest to northeast through the Mid-State this morning. A surface cold front is slowly meandering through north-central Tennessee, too. Temperatures will be several degrees cooler today, thanks to that and the addition of rainfall. A few thunderstorms are possible through the remainder of the day, but severe weather is not expected.
Flood Advisory for the Stones River continues…
Partly cloudy skies will be the dominant weather type today, and with extra breaks in the clouds, temperatures will skyrocket into the middle and upper 70s. Winds are also kicking up into the 30mph range already, and this will continue for the remainder of your Monday.
The Friday cold front has passed and we are quickly seeing its effects! Temperatures are already down into the middle 40s at 11:00AM, and we are expected to bottom out in the mid to upper 30s overnight tonight. A northwest wind will keep things gusty…20-25mph winds are possible, so keep those loose outdoor items tied down.
Remember the scarce playground days during the winter? The one time you get a nice day in mid February, the teachers take recess outside? Today is that day.
And if you are at work, maybe you get lucky enough to have an outdoor lunch. Temperatures will push the middle 60s this afternoon!
Watch out for icy roads Thursday morning…with temperatures below freezing tonight, patchy freezing fog and black ice are possible.
NWS Nashville Special Weather Statement
Friday, as we’ve been hinting at for much of the week, is the pick day of the forecast. While Thursday does bring the return of the sunshine, high temperatures will struggle to get into the 40s. Friday, a strong surge of warm air will rush in from the south…and with daytime heating, should bump us to 60ºF! Enjoy this, because…
A few flurries have been reported over the area this morning, and as long as cloud cover remains, a few non-consequential flakes could fly. Less sun is expected than previously thought, but still some could mix in this afternoon under partly cloudy skies. Southerly winds return, too, bumping our temperatures into Tuesday morning up a degree or so.
