We are looking at a very chilly day ahead. Only expecting a high of 41º to occur in Nashville; some spots may not even make it out of the 30s. We will see some high clouds, however, nothing in the way of precipitation. read more

Cold air is pouring in from the north, making for a breezy day. Wind chills will go no higher than the upper 20s this afternoon, with breezy winds driving the wind chill into the upper teens after sundown.

Normal high temps for the end of November are usually in the mid-50s!. High could crawl close to 35° even though we’ll see more sun through the day.

Some flurries are possible but no impacts are expected. Just be careful if you see a wet road, there may be a thin layer of ice.

Wednesday Morning – COLD

Overnight temps will fall even further into the low 20s. This is due in part to clouds breaking up, cold air and calm winds. Here’s what NWS Nashville has to say:

"CAA [cold air advection; fancy term for cold air moving from one place to another] today will also bring drier air with dewpoints in the teens, and with winds calming down a bit tonight, there won't be anything to keep temps up." read more

Wind chills will remain below or near freezing today despite our high of 41°. Winds will gradually relax through the day.

Below are forecast wind chills every three hours beginning at 9 AM today continuing through noon Wednesday: read more
