According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, temperatures will slide toward 31°F late this evening, cold enough for some wet flakes to mix in north and west of the city. Little to no snow accumulation is expected, but slick spots could form on bridges and overpasses as temperatures hover near freezing into early Tuesday morning.
Rain begins after 5 p.m., becoming steady through the night before tapering near dawn Tuesday. The heaviest precipitation will fall between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m., making it a good night to stay off the roads if you can. For those traveling early Tuesday, plan extra time and watch for icy patches, especially north toward Clarksville and along I-65.
