Cold This Week, Watching Precip (Wintry?) This Weekend
Today
After some flurries this morning, our skies are clearing nicely, however, those temperatures will struggle to rebound over the 40º line.
After a mostly clear day, temperatures will nosedive into the middle 20s again. Winds will be out of the west at around 5 PM, then turning south after midnight.
Cold, Few Flurries Possible Late Tonight; Dry & Cold Wednesday; Weekend Rain (Wintry Precip?) Chances
A weak overhead shortwave trough has shifted our winds to the north: cold air is pouring in. Cold air and thick clouds will keep us from warming too much this afternoon; high will be upper 30s.
Even a few sleeters and snow showers have raced across NE Middle Tennessee. You may have seen a few wintry pellets on your windshield this morning. This may continue this afternoon with neither worries nor impacts.
Dry and Cool Week Ahead, Wet/Cold Weekend + Possible Winter Mischief
Today
Dry air and cooler temperatures are going to be the story of the week for us here in Middle Tennessee. Expecting a high of 46º with the passage of a dry frontal system today. This front will just sweep a reinforcing shot of cold air through, no precipitation will fall.
Cold Week Ahead. Then A Wet/Mixyerable Weekend.

Winds will relax tonight.
Colder Week Ahead
South winds Sunday will be west winds tonight and NW winds tomorrow morning. Therefore, waking up to temps under 40° Monday. We should not see 50° anytime this work week. Bundle up tomorrow!
