This Week: 2 Unimpressive Chances for Flurries, Meh

Sunday • High 49°

Monday • 23°/55°

Another cold start, but more sun, more southwest winds, therefore warmer.

Tuesday • 34°/41° • Chance of Flurries

A small area of low pressure will streak across Middle Tennessee Monday night into Tuesday morning. This will bring sprinkles and some flurries mainly across the plateau, but we could see a few flakes fly over here. read more

Rain Late Monday - Tuesday, Talking About Friday’s Meh Snow Chances

Sunshine today, maybe a few clouds here and there, mid 60s this afternoon, gentle east breeze blowing over the top of Nissan Stadium for the Titans game.

Clear Weather Ahead

Fluctuations in temperature this week have to do with which way the wind is blowing.

Colder north winds today will turn south tomorrow and Saturday and warm us up.

Yesterday’s Tornadoes

Three Cold Fronts This Week, Drizzle Today, Rain Late Wednesday, Rain (Storms?) Friday

This morning, light rain and drizzle is moving in from the west.

NWS-Nashville calls this rain system “a mere whimper. Rainfall totals should be less than a tenth of an inch and without any instability and even less shear, we will only be looking at showers.” read more
