Nashville, TN – A gray haze lingers across Middle Tennessee this morning, the kind of still, damp air that signals change. Streets glisten with mist while fog clings low over the Cumberland River — a quiet calm before another sharp cool-down and the region’s first early-December “Winter Tease.”
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a mix of rain and snow could develop late Monday into Monday night, with temperatures hovering near the freezing mark (32°F). While no major accumulation is expected, any brief snow bursts may create slick spots on elevated surfaces and bridges, particularly north and east of downtown.
Showers are expected through Monday afternoon, tapering as colder air filters in from the northwest. By Tuesday, skies turn partly sunny with highs only near 39°F, marking one of the season’s coldest stretches so far. Drivers should allow extra travel time late Monday and early Tuesday, as wet roads could flash freeze under falling temps.
Five-Day Outlook:
- Monday: Cloudy, chance rain/snow mix, high 47°F.
- Tuesday: Clearing, brisk, high 39°F, low 23°F.
- Wednesday: Sunny, milder, high 49°F.
- Thursday: 30% snow chance, colder, high 41°F.
- Friday: Cloudy with 50% chance of showers, high 44°F.
Meteorologists say this early “winter preview” is part of a larger December shift spreading across much of the country — a sign that the frosty season has arrived. Keep coats and gloves ready, and stay alert for black ice as temperatures dip below freezing after sunset.
