There is no “one size fits all” forecast for Middle Tennessee tonight.
1. For Davidson and Williamson Counties, the NWS-Nashville forecast from 9 PM to midnight includes a chance we will get all rain, a chance it’ll be a sleet and rain mix, or a chance of all sleet; however, the most likely result will be rain. Freezing rain is not mentioned because temps are expected in the upper 30°s. There is no mention of snow.
Cloud cover will be intermittent today, with cold temperatures being the main story. Most places around Davidson/Williamson Counties will struggle to reach the upper 20s!
One last, brisk night is in store with forecasted lows in the teens, followed by a “warm up” Sunday and beyond. There’s just one speed bump in the way…
Ok. Let’s get above freezing today. What do you say?
Our low of 16° this morning should warm to 34° at BNA today, breaking our streak of temps below freezing…but only for a few hours. Remember, our temp has been below 32° since Saturday evening. But, I don’t think I have to tell you that.
GOES 16 Loop from this morning
If you were out the door early, WOW was it cold. Some Middle Tennessee locations set local low temperature records, like Crossville at 1ºF. Sunshine should help our area rebound into the middle 20s today, and winds will be dying down. Thus, the Wind Chill Advisory ends at noon.
Temps in Middle Tennessee overnight ranged from 4º in Dickson to 14º in Gallatin. In a few places a few flurries broke out, but nothing of consequence.
As I write this morning, officially at BNA it’s 7º, and the wind chill is -7º. Minus seven. Many backyards in Nashville and Will Co are a few degrees colder.
The first is effective begins at 10 PM and ends at 9 AM Monday morning. A second Wind Chill Advisory goes into effect Monday night at midnight, running until noon Tuesday.
No snow, just cold the rest of the week. Below freezing at least through Wednesday, maybe longer. Winds turn south Wednesday, so we may make the mid-30º. If we do, it will break a below-freezing streak that started Saturday night. If not, the streak should end Saturday when we should poke above freezing (but only briefly) in the afternoon. 7 consecutive days completely below freezing would be two days shy of the record of 9 set in 1876 and 1899.
