Winter Weather Advisory Until Noon, Warmer Weather Soon
Both of our counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory until noon today. Isolated snowfall amounts of one inch are possible in some isolated areas, but most places will be around half an inch.
We shouldn’t see any major travel impacts, but any snow that falls will stick, so take it easy on the roads and give yourself some extra time today. Snow should end around noon, and we may see temps briefly get above freezing, which will help with melting.

Relief From The Cold Is On The Way
As of 8:30am, BNA is reporting double digits temps (10°) for the first time in ~32 hours.

High temperatures will struggle to make it into the teens on Friday, while wind chill values will not make it above zero throughout the day Friday and into midday Christmas Eve. A Wind Chill Advisory was issued for wind chill values of ten-fifteen degrees below zero, due to guests as high as 35-40mph. Temperatures will stay below freezing for “`~84 hours Thursday night into midday Monday.
