Dickson County, TN – Residents seeking shelter from cold temperatures in Dickson County can continue to access warming services Saturday, though facility hours will be shortened.
According to the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office, the Dickson County Family YMCA warming station will remain open on Saturday, January 24, but the facility itself will close at 2:00 p.m. Officials confirmed the change in a public update shared Saturday morning as freezing conditions continue to impact Middle Tennessee.
The warming station has been operating to provide a safe, heated space for residents during ongoing winter weather. While the YMCA building will close earlier than normal, officials emphasized that warming station operations are not affected by the adjusted hours.
The update comes as local agencies continue to monitor cold temperatures across Dickson County, located west of Nashville in Middle Tennessee, where overnight lows and lingering winter conditions have increased concerns for vulnerable populations.
Authorities are encouraging residents who may need warming services—or who know someone who does—to plan ahead due to the early facility closure and to stay informed through official channels.
“Continue to follow us on Facebook for additional updates,” officials noted in the announcement.
No further changes to warming station availability were announced as of Saturday afternoon, but officials say updates will be shared if conditions or operations change.
Residents are urged to check on neighbors, ensure pets are protected from the cold, and use caution when traveling during winter weather conditions.
