Skies will be partly cloudy this evening as clouds from today hang around.
Evening temperatures will fall to the mid 40°s, but overnight lows will drop all the way to the upper 20°s.
As that weak cold front swings through early tomorrow, there could be some flurries mixed-in with some rain to our east, near the Plateau:

Overnight, we will drop below freezing, but then the winds will turn south and we’ll make it to a sunny 52° on Thursday.
Winds will briefly switch back north as a snowmaker drives by to our north — nothing for us — and drops Friday down to 30° early, 46° in the afternoon.

I hope you are having a great week so far!
Clouds will break up late the morning into the afternoon. It will be mostly sunny this afternoon with temperatures below normal in the low 40s.

The cool air will be back sooner than you think…
We’ll be in the 30°s by dinnertime.
By then, the rain will be gone:
But, we’ll be stuck with cloudy skies through tomorrow morning.

A cold front will broom some rain across Middle Tennessee tonight and overnight. The HRRR model illustrates:
This will help wash some of this snow away.
When the rain ends, a cold northwest wind will blow our wee hour temps down from 46° into the mid-40°s, where they’ll be stuck until dark, when we start to move toward freezing.

Today – Rain on the Way! High: 50°
Rain will slowly but surely increase today as a surface low from the west accelerates northeast. The clouds will also increase this afternoon and we will be left with an overcast sky this evening.

Remaining Snow/Ice will refreeze tonight. The overnight low is 30°. Secondary roads are especially vulnerable because they are often shaded and less trafficked.
We don’t know the road conditions, we can only tell you how we think the weather might be impacting them. Consult traffic sources on Twitter (such as @TrafficJamSam) and the TDOT Smartway map/cameras.

When the weather balloon went up just after 5 AM, it was 14°; however, there was a large “inversion,” a fancy weather word that means it’s warmer overhead than it is down here on the ground. Temps from 5,000 feet all the way up to 10,000 feet were above freezing. Why am I boring you with that? Because it’s a good sign we’re going to warm up today. Sunshine is on the way. High 37°. Some ice and snow will melt.

Measurements are still coming in (you send in yours on Twitter via #tSpotter, include photo/location, and measure from a hard, flat surface), but here’s the preliminary total from NWS-Nashville:

At 7:17 AM, if you were on the NW side of this line, you were on your way winning the snow lottery. Snow was accumulating as an impressive convective snow band raced north up 65.
