Current Radar
Notice that the HRRR model has a few flurries possible late this evening as the surface low moves east.
Right now there is no reason to be worried about these.
High pressure will be in full control of our weather for Saturday, driving in frigid temps on a north wind.
Current Radar
We’ll get to the mid/upper 20°s overnight tonight and into Friday morning, but there should not be anything left to freeze.
The snow that was in the Dakotas earlier today has made it down to parts of Iowa and even Missouri this evening:
Current Radar
As you can see from the above radar, a long, narrow ribbon of snow continues to drive down I-24.
Dry air aloft, personified by the Dry Air Monster, has been eating (evaporating) some of the precip, but not all of it. If you have a window, you can verify. The DAM hasn’t been hungry.
Current Radar
Today – More Rain or Snow? High: 30°
We’ve got sunshine, which will aid snowmelt.
Rain, but more likely snow, is possible tonight.
We are watching this clipper move our way:
Current Radar
Snow will be ending this evening!
Lows will drop to around 15° overnight.
Yeah. That’s cold.
Winds will stay in the 5-10 mph range, knocking “feels like” temps into the single digits. That’s very dangerous if you’re not dressed properly.
Current Radar
Temps will continue to drop overnight. By midnight, everyone should be in the 20°s, on our way to 24° just before sunrise Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, this clipper system continues to rotate light, scattered snowshowers into Middle Tennessee.
Current Radar
Some of the coldest temperatures of the winter are arriving tonight.
One cold front swept through early this morning, and another is pushing in very cold air now. However, during the day, temps here on the surface will remain above freezing, slowing dropping toward freezing around 9 PM or so tonight. Stay tuned on Twitter to verify the timing of this.
Current Radar
as I write this, we are slowly dropping out of the 50° range. Temperatures will be in a freefall until they finally bottom out around 24° early Tuesday morning.
Two cold fronts are coming.
Current Radar
Sunshine will bring 55° this afternoon, but clouds will arrive tonight. Arctic air arrives Monday and Tuesday while a clipper system brings rain and a little snow.
Sunday. A cold front will arrive late tonight or early Monday morning. The HRRR model thinks it’ll enter NW Middle Tennessee well after the Super Bowl, getting to us probably before midnight.
Current Radar
Just below freezing in the morning, then warming into the mid-50°s while clouds arrive Sunday after dark, announcing our next system.
A big trough of arctic air will begin its approach. By midnight Sunday evening, it will have already started its push into Middle Tennessee.
