Nashville, TN – A blast of winter air is sweeping across Middle Tennessee this weekend, bringing dropping temperatures, gusty winds, and the chance for light flurries before a gradual warm-up returns later this week.
According to the US National Weather Service in Nashville, winds have turned northerly, ushering in sharply colder air across the region. Temperatures are expected to fall into the 20s by Sunday morning, with even colder conditions settling in by Monday morning. Wind gusts could reach up to 30 mph at times, creating wind chills in the single digits early Monday.
Forecasters say scattered light rain and even brief sleet were reported Saturday as the colder air moved in. By Sunday night, a few snow flurries are possible, mainly across the Cumberland Plateau and higher elevations. Little to no accumulation is expected, though a light dusting cannot be ruled out in elevated areas.
High temperatures Sunday are expected to remain in the 30s to low 40s across much of Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Murfreesboro, and surrounding counties. Monday morning will likely be the coldest period of the stretch.
Relief is on the way by midweek. Warmer temperatures are forecast to return beginning Wednesday, with highs climbing back into the 50s. Rain chances increase Wednesday night into Thursday before drier conditions return late in the week.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution during the coldest mornings, especially on bridges and overpasses.
