Nashville, TN – Morning commuters in Middle Tennessee are greeted by calm skies and a soft December breeze, a welcome pause before another quick weather shift later this week. While the region enjoys mild temperatures in the 50s and 60s through Friday, a cold snap will drop readings sharply by the weekend — a sign winter is edging closer.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, skies stay mostly sunny through Friday, with daytime highs near 58°F and gusts around 20–25 mph. Winds turn northwest late Friday as a cooler, drier air mass pushes in. By Saturday morning, lows tumble into the 20s, and by nightfall, the region could experience its coldest air of December so far.
Homeowners are encouraged to protect sensitive plants and outdoor pipes, as frost and freezing temperatures become likely Saturday night into early Sunday. While no major precipitation is expected, meteorologists note that long-range models hint at a wetter pattern next week — potentially setting up a rain-to-flurry mix north of I-40 by mid-December.
