Tennessee starts the day under gray skies and steady rain, with wet pavement reflecting headlights and puddles forming along busy streets. The air feels mild now, but change is already moving in behind the rain.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, showers continue through the morning hours before tapering off by midday. Rainfall amounts remain light to moderate, but slick roads are likely during the commute. Winds turn northwest later today, ushering in drier air and falling temperatures.
In Nashville, conditions improve by afternoon as clouds thin and skies begin clearing. Highs reach the lower 60s early, then slide downward as cooler air settles in. Drivers along I-40, I-24, and I-65 should use caution this morning, especially where water pools on ramps and low spots.
By Sunday, sunshine takes over, but it comes with a colder edge. Afternoon highs drop into the low 40s, and the air feels brisk with gusty northwest winds. Once the sun sets, temperatures fall quickly. Sunday night lows dip into the mid-20s, raising concerns for frost and patchy freezing on untreated surfaces.
Monday and Tuesday stay dry and bright, with gradual warming during the afternoons. Highs rebound into the 50s, though mornings remain cold. The quick swing from wet roads to freezing temperatures increases the risk of flash freezing, especially in shaded areas and on bridges.
Residents should plan extra time this morning, keep layers handy for colder days ahead, and protect sensitive plants before Sunday night. Winter may feel quiet for now, but it is still setting traps after sunset.
