NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Streetlights glow faintly through thick, low fog this morning as Middle Tennessee wakes under a soft gray haze. Drivers across Nashville and nearby communities face reduced visibility and slick, damp roads, the kind of slow-motion morning that demands patience and headlights.
A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. CST for much of Middle Tennessee, including Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, and Wilson Counties. Visibility may drop below a quarter mile at times, especially along I-24, I-40, and I-65, making travel slow through midmorning. Commuters should allow extra time and keep low-beam headlights on until conditions lift.
Once the fog burns away, sunshine will dominate much of today with mild highs near 72°F, offering a brief window of warmth before a sweeping cold front drops temperatures sharply late Sunday into Monday.
By Sunday afternoon, clouds return with scattered sprinkles or flurries possible across the higher elevations north and east of Nashville. The real chill arrives Monday morning when lows fall into the mid-20s, with brisk northwest winds making it feel even colder.
Veterans Day brings back bright sunshine but keeps a crisp bite in the air — highs near 52°F will feel seasonably cool under clear skies. The rest of the week trends calm and sunny, ideal for outdoor chores or early holiday prep.
Still, this weekend’s cold snap marks a clear shift: Middle Tennessee has entered its winter transition. Forecasters are watching late-November patterns hinting at more Arctic air — and possibly the first measurable snowflakes — before Thanksgiving.
Five-Day Outlook for Nashville, TN:
Sat: 72/43 – Dense fog early; sunny and warm.
Sun: 51/27 – Clouds increase; brief sprinkles or flurries.
Mon: 41/24 – Chilly; mostly sunny.
