Tennessee – Headlights glow through thick gray air across Middle Tennessee this morning as dense fog settles over frozen streets. The cold feels heavy, the kind that seeps through gloves, while visibility drops quickly along major corridors.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, patchy dense fog developed early, reducing visibility during the morning commute. Temperatures remain locked in the low 20s, with wind chills dipping into the teens. Calm winds allow fog to linger, especially in low-lying areas and near waterways.
In Nashville, conditions around the airport show fog and mist with visibility near five miles, lower in pockets. Drivers on I-40, I-24, and I-65 should expect sudden visibility drops, especially on bridges and ramps where pavement stays coldest. As fog thins later, clouds hold firm and limit warming, keeping highs near the upper 30s.
Attention turns to Friday as winter tightens its grip. Light snow showers become possible, mainly before midday. While accumulation looks limited, even light flakes could create slick spots during colder hours. Friday night turns sharply colder, with lows falling near 11 degrees as northwest winds increase.
Saturday stays bitter. Highs struggle to reach the lower 20s, and brisk winds make it feel colder. Sunday brings some relief with sunshine and highs near 30, though overnight lows remain well below freezing. Early next week trends milder, but winter weather stays close enough to keep impacts possible.
Plan extra travel time this morning. Slow down in fog, keep headlights on, and be cautious of icy patches. More advisories may follow if snow chances increase.
