Tennessee wakes up to a gray, cold sky as light flurries drift across Nashville, briefly dusting rooftops and cooling already slick pavement. Temperatures hover near 35°F, but wind chills dip closer to the upper 20s, making bridges and overpasses feel colder than they look.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a mix of light rain and snow lingers through mid-morning, with a 20 percent chance of precipitation and south winds near 5 to 10 mph. Roads, especially elevated stretches like I-40 and I-65, may turn patchy slick where moisture meets cold surfaces.
Drivers across Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford counties should stay alert through late morning. Wet pavement can refreeze in shaded spots, creating brief flash-freeze risks even as temperatures begin to climb. Slow down and allow extra stopping distance.
Conditions improve by afternoon as clouds begin to break and temperatures rise toward 61°F. That shift sets up a rapid warming trend heading into the first full weekend of spring. By Thursday, highs reach near 71°F with dry, calmer conditions.
Friday brings a noticeable jump to near 78°F under mostly sunny skies. Outdoor plans will feel more like late April than March. Traffic near downtown Nashville and major routes could increase as warmer weather draws people outside.
Saturday continues the warm stretch with highs near 82°F and clear skies. The quick swing from flurries to spring warmth may leave early morning damp spots, but widespread hazards fade.
