David, Will and I (this is Andrew) are good for each other. We’re the kind of friends that sit around and text each other at night about weather data. At 7:39 pm, David said “Feels like it’s gonna fog.” We continued by exchanging weather data numbers that would appear, to some, to be some kind of lock combination. It was a blast.
The precipitation is over but the cold air is sticking around. Wind chills will keep us feeling near/below freezing.
With clearing skies overnight, temperatures will fall to 20º Tuesday morning.
Add that north wind and . . . Bundle up!
Most of Nashville and Will Co stayed just above freezing tonight. Those in far north Nashville, and anyone at elevation, saw icing.

If we were about five degrees colder right now everyone would be:
But, we’re in the mid 30°s, embracing uncertainty as part of the social contract involved in, you know, living here and stuff.
A light, drizzly rain has worked its way into Davidson and Williamson counties this morning. By now we should just be seeing rain fall, but a flake or two could be in the mix.
After Will’s morning blog forecast and my Twitter review of model data, NWS-Nashville held a special briefing, the substance of which you’ll read below.
In 6 tweets, this morning I laid out all the model data on Twitter. You can read it here.
Rain will likely hold off all day today, though a stay rain or sleet shower isn’t out of the question tonight. What you will notice today and tonight is the cold. It won’t get much warmer than 40º for most of us and the wind chill will make it feel like freezing or below all night.
Clouds increasing today ahead of another cold front this evening.
Today’s high temps will easily warm in the mid/upper 40s, overnight low about 34°. Afternoon temps will feel close to freezing with the wind chill.
After some flurries this morning, our skies are clearing nicely, however, those temperatures will struggle to rebound over the 40º line.
After a mostly clear day, temperatures will nosedive into the middle 20s again. Winds will be out of the west at around 5 PM, then turning south after midnight.
A weak overhead shortwave trough has shifted our winds to the north: cold air is pouring in. Cold air and thick clouds will keep us from warming too much this afternoon; high will be upper 30s.
Even a few sleeters and snow showers have raced across NE Middle Tennessee. You may have seen a few wintry pellets on your windshield this morning. This may continue this afternoon with neither worries nor impacts.
