Tennessee wakes to crisp air and quiet streets, where breath shows briefly and wind brushes bare trees. The cold still bites early, even as sunlight hints at a fast-changing pattern.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, temperatures hovered near 34 degrees early with light north winds around 5 mph. Wind chills dipped into the upper 20s, enough to refreeze moisture on sidewalks and shaded roads. Highs recover only to the upper 30s today, keeping winter coats in play.
Across Nashville, drivers should watch bridges and ramps along I-40, I-24, and I-65 through the morning. Patches of ice can linger where melting occurred yesterday. Walk carefully on steps and parking lots, especially before midday warming.
Conditions moderate heading into Sunday as sunshine increases. Highs reach the low 50s, easing the chill but still feeling cool after sunset. Sunday night turns colder again, with lows near the mid-30s and another refreeze risk after dark.
A strong warm front reshapes the week ahead. Monday brings bright skies and a jump into the mid-60s, a noticeable February thaw. By Tuesday, highs surge near 70 as southwest winds pull in milder air. Rain chances increase late Tuesday into Tuesday night, with showers becoming more likely by Wednesday.
Wet pavement combined with cooler nights could create brief slick spots midweek, though widespread winter weather looks unlikely. Still, this is peak season for flash freezing when daytime melt refreezes quickly after sunset. Plan travel accordingly and allow extra stopping distance during evening drives.
Looking into the 6–10 day window, above-normal temperatures appear poised to continue, hinting that early signs of spring may stick around longer than usual. Feeling the temperature swing yet? Tell us how it feels in your neighborhood.
