Nashville Weather Update: Bundling Up for a Chilly Week Ahead!

Hey there, Nashville! It’s that time of year again when you’ll want to grab your warmest coat, a cozy scarf, and maybe even those cute mittens as we brace ourselves for some seriously cold weather heading our way. Buckle up, because temperatures are set to dip well below average beginning today and lasting through Wednesday.

Today’s Weather Scoop

So what can you expect for today? The high is hovering around a brisk 40°F, but with a light northwestern breeze kicking up, it’s going to feel quite a bit chillier out there! Over in parts of southwest Kentucky and northwest Middle Tennessee, they’re stuck around freezing, feeling like the 20s thanks to that sneaky wind chill.

Evening Arrivals

As night falls, the chilly vibes will only get more intense. Temperatures are dropping quickly, and we’ll be staring down a low of 20°F in Nashville. Watch out for any refrozen spots if you were hoping to go for an evening stroll; icy patches will be making an appearance on sidewalks and roads as temperatures tumble down into the teens.

The Week Ahead

Now let’s talk about Monday. It may have some isolated icy spots early in the morning due to that overnight refreeze. But don’t worry; the sun will work its magic, and by the afternoon, we’re looking at a more comfortable high of 42°F.

Heads up, though—on Wednesday, we’ll be saying a not-so-fond hello to more cold fronts. We’ve got anything from a low of 20°F to a high of just 38°F on the menu. Yikes!

Stay Warm on Thursday

But don’t hang up your winter gear just yet! After that chilly start to Thursday, we’ll see a little warmth peek through. The temperature is expected to rise to nearly 50°F by the afternoon. Perfect time for a brisk walk—or maybe a hot chocolate break?

Weekend Forecast Woes

Looking ahead to this weekend, be prepared for some rain to drench our plans, especially on Saturday morning. Just when you think it’s safe to step outside, Sunday rolls in with colder temperatures and the possibility of scattered flurries, particularly in eastern Middle Tennessee. It seems like the winter blanket is sticking around!

Weather Warning Ahead

The weather folks have even declared a First Alert Weather Day for the upcoming Monday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day), warning us of extreme cold. Expect lows to start off in the teens—with some brave spots hitting single digits. Ouch! And don’t expect much of a warm-up throughout the day; we may struggle to dig out of the 20s.

Travel Woes and Snowy Memories

For those of you with travel plans, keep in mind that recently, we saw significant snowfall thanks to Winter Storm Cora, which piled on totals exceeding 5 inches in some areas. That kind of weather led to over 100 flights being canceled in Nashville, which wasn’t fun for anyone trying to jet off somewhere warm. And travel conditions are expected to remain tricky, especially on secondary roads—so best to be cautious out there!

Future Weather Insights

Once we get past next Monday, the temperatures don’t look like they’ll be bouncing back to normal anytime soon. We’re in for some chillier days with a stretch of weather that may be free of precipitation until the weekend rolls back around.

So there you have it, Nashville! Stay warm, stay safe, and embrace the winter wonderland while it lasts! We’ve got a chilly week ahead, but together we’ll navigate through it.
