Light rain showers are expected to move through Middle Tennessee after midnight but will most likely be out of the area by around 6 AM.
The rain will be light – less than a quarter of an inch accumulation.

Rain should approach late Wednesday night but there is question about whether it’ll miss us or not.
HRRR model has it going all south of us.

The Euro disagrees. It predicts a tenth of an inch or so Thursday morning:
Rain overnight tonight should stay to our north and south. But we can’t rule out a couple sprinkles falling in your backyard. HRRR model shows snow north, rain south, we’re in the middle.

Another system is coming but models disagree exactly when.

A quick blast of snow is possible around midnight. HRRR model below:

This event shouldn’t threaten your Monday morning travels or inconvenience you in any other way.

Forecast is of low confidence as models continue to be all over the place as they struggle with the upcoming fast, split flow upper level pattern.
Pockets of snow dot the radar this morning. It will continue to fall through about noon.

Snow is sticking to some roads. Be extra cautious if you are driving this morning. Especially bridges and overpasses that may have some frozen patches.
Initial, big snowflakes now falling early this evening will melt on above-freezing surfaces. Temps are supercold and below-freezing above 3,000 feet. Temps are above-freezing below 3,000 feet. Flakes lack the time to change back to sleet or rain by the time they hit the earth. Splat. Melt.
We have a lot to follow in this forecast. Let’s start with this afternoon and early evening. We’re expecting rain to being this afternoon, and a rumble of thunder isn’t out of the question. We’ve recently been given a general thunderstorm outlook from the Storm Prediction Center (below).
It’ll probably rain a little before midnight tonight, no big deal.
Models indicate snow Friday night lasting off and on overnight into Saturday morning.
Rain is expected to change to snow Friday night between 9 PM and midnight:
Sunny skies and pleasant during the day. Southerly winds could gust upwards of 25 mph.
That’s all ahead of an approaching front tonight.
