Nashville, Tennessee – A quieter and drier winter pattern is expected across Kentucky and Tennessee during the January 10–14 period, keeping rain and snow chances limited and reducing the risk for impactful winter weather across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, much of Kentucky and Tennessee is favored to see below-normal precipitation during the 6–10 day window, while temperatures trend near to above seasonal averages. That combination supports fewer storm systems and limits opportunities for widespread rain or snow.
Across Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green, precipitation chances remain low, with only isolated light rain possible if weak systems pass through. Any snow risk appears minimal and confined to brief overnight windows, mainly in eastern or higher-elevation areas. In Tennessee, including Nashville, Clarksville, and Knoxville, conditions favor dry stretches with occasional clouds and mild daytime temperatures. East Tennessee’s higher terrain may see spotty light precipitation at times, though measurable snow appears unlikely.
Travel impacts are not expected to be significant, with road conditions remaining favorable for most of the period. Drivers should still remain alert during early morning hours in colder valleys or elevated areas where brief slick spots cannot be completely ruled out.
Overall, the pattern supports below-average precipitation and low-impact weather. While short-term changes remain possible, no widespread rain or winter weather alerts are currently expected as the January 10–14 timeframe approaches.
