Forecast this week looks a lot different than the cold temps and snow we experienced over the weekend. Temperatures warm up to the mid 70s by Thursday. We stay warm for the rest of the week staying in the 60s.
This morning the temps were really cold. Temps in the teens when accounting for wind chill. By the time you’re reading this the temps will have warmed into the mid 50’s. This along with minimal cloud cover will help melt any remaining snow.
The temperatures reached the mid 60s yesterday, and here we are, literally the next day, with snow on the ground. Tennessee weather is weird.
Some of us woke up to 2-4 inches of snow on the ground, a few of us even 5-6 inches. (Accumulations are below). The low this morning was in the low 20s, burr. The high today will be in the lower 30’s, likely not getting above freezing. [Editor’s Note: The higher sun angle this time of year will really help melting, even with temps below freezing. But, watch out for black ice tonight as temps plummet and we lose the sun’s energy.]
Today, we’re going to start off with a pretty nice, warm day. This is going to quickly change. A cold front is going to quickly drop temps. See the roller coaster that is the hourly temperature chart:
This afternoon I searched “March snow” in my Google Photos, and several snow pics from March came up from years past. While March snows are not unprecedented for us, it seems a little odd. But, here we are… Let’s lay it out.
Rain has moved out… so what’s next? Highs warm up to the 60’s tomorrow and Friday. More sunshine the next couple days.
Late Friday night is when things start to get interesting. A strong cold front is expected to roll through… frigid temps along with it. Talking about a turnaround of almost 45 degrees from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning! Possible that we don’t get above freezing Saturday:
After yesterday’s cold front moved through, we’ll see a chilly day today and lots of clouds. Later tonight, we will have some rain move in, possibly around dinner time.
The rain will hang around all night, but will clear out before your morning commute on Wednesday. There are no severe concerns with this system.
The storm threat is over.
HRRR model below shows scattered showers until dinner time.
Our counties are included in a wind advisory until 3pm. This is mainly in place for wind gusts ahead of the line of storms we just experienced. Model below shows wind gusts calming to the teens by dinner time.
High temps continue today, we should reach the upper 70’s. Windy, we’ve already seen gusts up to 25-30 mph.
There is a chance for showers and storms today, but probably not. The HRRR model thinks most of it will miss us and stay just north. Here’s what that looks like:
Today is nearly a repeat of yesterday. High temps will be somewhere in the upper 70’s. BTW, record high temp for BNA today is 80°, we’ll see if we make it there. It’ll be windy today, with a wind coming from the south at around 15-20mph, with gusts up to 30mph. You may see a shower tonight around the midnight hour, won’t be anything consequential.
