Tennessee — Headlights glow against falling flakes and frosty pavement as Middle Tennessee wakes up under a stubborn February chill. The air feels damp and sharp, and even light wind cuts through layers fast. Conditions are quiet, but they carry real impact early today.
A Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect across Middle Tennessee through midday Monday. Temperatures in Nashville sit near 19 degrees this morning, with wind chills hovering close to zero. Light snow continues at times, and patchy slick spots are possible on untreated roads, bridges, and sidewalks.
Snow remains light today, but it does not take much to cause problems in this cold. Visibility may briefly dip during heavier bursts. Drivers should slow down, especially on elevated surfaces and shaded streets. Pedestrians should expect icy patches where snow compacts.
Cold holds firm tonight as temperatures drop into the low 20s. Monday brings gradual improvement, with highs climbing into the mid-40s under mostly sunny skies. That warming trend continues into Tuesday, when highs reach near 50 degrees and rain showers become more likely by afternoon.
This pattern reflects a broader shift across the South. Arctic air that plunged deep into the region begins retreating east, while milder air pushes north. Still, refreezing remains a concern each night, especially where snow melts during the day.
By Wednesday, colder air briefly returns, keeping highs in the upper 30s before another late-week warm-up. Flash freezing remains a risk after sunset, even as daytime conditions improve.
Dress in layers, protect pets, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Winter hazards remain, even as signs of relief appear.
