Current Radar
Temps have hovered at and just above freezing this afternoon. After dark, we should be at or below freezing. Beware of black ice, especially on bridges and overpasses.
By midnight, we should be at 30°, where we will hold for most of the morning before dropping to 28° just before sunrise.

Summary…below freezing temps start tonight, lasting through Tuesday…Maybe a wintry mix early Wednesday, probably just a cold rain.
Arctic Air Arrives Tonight
As I write this at 4 PM, the arctic cold front had already crossed the Ohio River and is near Clarksville. The Arctic air should be spilling in to Davidson and Williamson Counties after dark.
Current Radar
Summary…high today 41°…very cold tomorrow…below freezing until Wednesday…Wintry mix changing to rain Wednesday, but confidence still low.
We should see the sun late this morning or sometime this afternoon. But, only briefly.
Current Radar
Summary…Temps…42° Sunday…below freezing and very dry Monday…Snow…2 small flurry chances Sunday…better wintry mix/snow/rain chances Wednesday, but models vary wildly, forecast confidence low.

While we were getting a weak dusting, Clarksville and Portland fared better:
Our high Sunday was 48°, which was reached just after midnight before the winds shifted north. By sunrise, temps were at freezing, and have been falling ever since.

Current Radar
As I write this, the heavy rain is f-i-n-a-l-l-y arriving. I doubt we’ll hear any thunder, but don’t be surprised/concerned if you do.
By the way, this was me this morning, unable to control my feels about the models:
Current Radar
If you pan/scroll the above current radar, you can see the rain coming from the SW.
The HRRR in motion, below, shows the heavier rain may wait until later in the day.
However, the HRRR may be overdoing the coverage of rainfall. Other models depict more of an off/on rain event. Actual radar returns to our SW suggest they may be on to something.

A pretty good thunderstorm complex is brewing near the Ark-La-Tex. HRRR congeals it and shoves it up I-40 in the morning:
HRRR model gathers a ton of rain around W TN by 6 AM. Looks like a wet AM for us: pic.twitter.com/lkK0MFIlbZ
