As of 4pm, surface temperatures throughout our two counties are ranging from 37-40°, which is the reason the precip moving thru will mostly be light rain, although temperatures way up are very cold which could call for some flurries mixing in.
Light Rain With Maybe Flurries Mixed In Today, Looking Ahead to 2024
sNOw Chances Looking Very Meh + Drought Update
This graph from NWS Nashville shows only a 10 – 30% chance of us seeing 0.1″ +, or more commonly known as a dusting.
The odds are not in our favor.
New model data keeps coming in, and it shows bad news for those who had their fingers crossed for accumulating snow.
Approaching Snow Event Looks Meh – But . . . It May Not Be

First Chance At Snowflakes This Winter Thursday Night – Friday, Time to Embrace Uncertainty
We’ll be dry until Wednesday evening, when some showers (just rain) move in, shown below by the HRRR model.
This will just be some light rain. If you look closely, you can see the swirl near the bootheel of MO and southern Illinois, that low pressure system will be the culprit for our snow chances.
Rain Ending – Colder with More Rain Chances Later This Week
Morning rain will end during lunch. A few hit/miss showers may drive by your place this afternoon, otherwise cloudy with a few breaks of sunshine for some. HRRR model through 7 PM today below:
Colder air later this week, wind chills near freezing Weds morning with colder mornings after that.

A year ago today, I wrote the blog about temperatures expected to get around 0°, wind chills -20° to -30°, with a Winter Storm Warning along with it. NWS Nashville put together a page about this event, you can click here if you’d like to read.
Getting Thru the Shortest Day (Light) of the Year to Get to the Longer Ones
The sun set at 4:36pm today, that’s quite sad. Thankfully, the sun will set later in the day from now on.
Winter will officially begin at 9:27pm, when the Winter Solstice occurs. However, based on the forecast, it sure doesn’t feel that way.
Scattered Showers Possible This Weekend, Mild and Wet Christmas
The low 50s today have felt a lot better than the 30s and 40s we’ve been dealing with. We’ll continue to warm each day this week, even making to the mid 60s by Christmas Eve.
That is quite mild for this time of year, although not unheard of.
