From @ethanluck:
I’m going to bed. We’ll be up to listen to the NWS conference call at 4:30 a.m., then post an early morning update. After that, Will will tweet y’all up in the morning so I can get some sleep.

6:30 a.m. Update
Last night’s RAP and NAM models were right.
Officially in Nashville, we reached 33 degrees just before 4 a.m., and before then in Williamson County.
Freezing rain fell off and on for about 6 or 7 hours, depending on where you live.
Bedtime Update (12:25 a.m.)
Regional Radar:
As you can see, there’s plenty of rain moving through Middle Tennessee. It’s rain because the air the rain is falling through is above freezing.
We’ve seen a few flurries this morning, but the afternoon and early evening will mainly just be dry and cold.
A new Winter Weather Advisory is effective at 9 p.m. tonight, ending 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
Update coming after 11 a.m. NWS Conference Call…
3am 29 . 6am 28 . 9am 31 . Noon 35 . 3pm 35 . 6pm 33 . 9pm 32 . Midnight 31
No rain in the morning or afternoon.
More rain arrives after dark tomorrow night, some time between 10 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday. During this time, we may see freezing rain. This may impact early Sunday morning travel. More details on this tomorrow.

**8:28 a.m. Update**
HRRR still thinks we will see some wintry weather around 2-3 p.m. Shown below: 3 p.m.
It might fall as a wintry mix, but HRRR still thinks temps will be 34-35 at 3 pm:
I apologize* for the titles of the last two posts. (*not really. And while we’re here, you should tell your mother about the ice potential Friday and Saturday nights).
Evening updates in red. Everything else, you read earlier this afternoon.
We’ve already seen heavy rain and wind courtesy of a cold front, which cut temps by 20 degrees.
Now that the cold side passed, there is no longer a strong/severe thunderstorm threat.
We will see two separate rounds of winter weather. One Friday night, the other Saturday night.
