Nashville, Tennessee – Rain moving across Middle Tennessee this afternoon and evening may briefly change to light snow after dark, mainly across the Cumberland Plateau, though significant accumulation is unlikely, according to the National Weather Service in Nashville.
In a Friday update, forecasters said temperatures will fall this evening, allowing rain to transition to snow across higher elevations of the Plateau. Most locations are expected to see little to no accumulation, with the upper Plateau having a 10–15 percent chance of receiving 0.5 inch or more of snow. A dusting is possible, with overall chances ranging from 20–40 percent.
Across Nashville and much of Middle Tennessee, precipitation is expected to remain rain or transition too late for meaningful snow accumulation. The National Weather Service emphasized that this is a low-impact event, and residents should not expect widespread winter weather issues.
However, temperatures dropping after sunset could allow isolated slick spots to develop on bridges and elevated roadways in Plateau communities. Any snow that does fall is expected to be light and short-lived.
No winter weather advisories or warnings are in effect at this time.
Drivers traveling across the Cumberland Plateau this evening should remain alert for brief changes in conditions, especially in higher terrain. Forecast confidence remains moderate, and officials recommend monitoring updates in case timing changes.
