NWS Nashville – “Special Weather Statement”

A powerful storm system will move across the Tennessee Valley this weekend, bringing much warmer temperatures to Middle Tennessee today and especially by Saturday. Showers and a few thunderstorms are also anticipated Saturday afternoon and into the evening. Some storms may be strong to possibly severe. Saturday night, an arctic cold front will sweep across Middle Tennessee, bringing much colder air back into the area. As this occurs, rain may changeover to a wintry mix of freezing rain or sleet late Saturday night into Sunday morning before precipitation ends. However, only light ice accumulation amounts look possible at this time. read more

High Pressure and a Cold Front

The next few days will be rain-free and particularly chilly from tonight through Friday morning.

We currently have a series of high pressures set up to our west, as shown below.

High pressures have a clockwise circulation around them, so since they are to our west, these high pressures are causing for our winds to be from the North and thus bringing in cooler air. read more

Cloudy skies will prevail throughout the remainder of the day and into tonight.
