Consult multiple, reliable sources of weather information.
“Friday snow” will be hard to believe Thursday afternoon when it starts raining off and on and we are in the mid 60°s. Rain will be heavy at times, and last into Friday morning. Sometime Friday, rain should transition to sleet and/or freezing rain, and eventually snow.
I know crap apps train us to see clipart snowflakes and nebulous percentages and draw conclusions; you're better served by reading discussions, understanding nuance, possibility, and ranges, and not blowing past important qualifiers like "right now" the forecast "could be" etc. pic.twitter.com/WLNVfETind
Our two counties, Davidson County and Williamson County, remain excluded from the Winter Weather Advisory.
We expect a cold rain, but we also don’t want to completely discount winter weather impacts tonight, overnight, or in the morning.
There is no “one size fits all” forecast for Middle Tennessee tonight.
1. For Davidson and Williamson Counties, the NWS-Nashville forecast from 9 PM to midnight includes a chance we will get all rain, a chance it’ll be a sleet and rain mix, or a chance of all sleet; however, the most likely result will be rain. Freezing rain is not mentioned because temps are expected in the upper 30°s. There is no mention of snow.
Temps will not reach above freezing until Sunday.

We’re going to warm above freezing right around the time precipitation arrives.
The overnight low is 2°.
2° is expected shortly before dawn. Before then, 10° at 9 PM, 7° at midnight, 6° at 3 AM.
Note that’s the official forecast temp; locations around Davidson and Williamson Counties are often a few degrees colder.
Temps in Middle Tennessee overnight ranged from 4º in Dickson to 14º in Gallatin. In a few places a few flurries broke out, but nothing of consequence.
As I write this morning, officially at BNA it’s 7º, and the wind chill is -7º. Minus seven. Many backyards in Nashville and Will Co are a few degrees colder.
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.
