NASHVILLE, TN – Cold rain is turning slushy across Middle Tennessee this morning as early December air dips near freezing. Pavement glistens under misty headlights, and light flakes are being reported from Franklin to Clarksville. It’s a classic Southern winter tease — the kind that slicks roads without much accumulation but still slows every commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for portions of Middle Tennessee as light rain and snow showers pass through early. Little to no accumulation is expected, but patchy black ice could form late as temperatures settle near 31°. Drivers are urged to use caution on bridges and overpasses through the morning rush.
By midday, clouds will hold steady with highs around 38°, before another dip tonight allows for widespread fog and damp, frosty surfaces. Wednesday brings brief sunshine and a milder high near 41°, followed by a quiet stretch into Thursday before the next change.
Meteorologists are watching another wave of moisture late Thursday into Friday that could bring a mix of light rain and snow to the region — a pattern that signals winter’s slow but steady return.
