NASHVILLE, TN – A chill grips the air across Music City this Thursday morning, the kind that makes your breath hang visible in the dim light. Temperatures hover near 33°F, and low clouds stretch across the Cumberland skyline as another round of early winter weather approaches.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a wintry mix of rain, sleet, and light snow is expected to develop later today and continue through Thursday night. The best window for slick travel runs from late afternoon through early Friday, especially across northern Davidson and Sumner counties. While snow totals should remain light — generally under one inch — even a thin glaze of sleet or wet snow could create hazardous conditions on I-65, I-40, and local overpasses.
Meteorologists advise drivers to use caution this evening, especially as temperatures dip toward 32°F. Bridges and elevated roads may freeze first, leading to brief periods of black ice before drier, warmer air moves in Friday.
By Friday, expect a shift to clearer skies and milder temperatures near 47°F, setting up a pleasant weekend stretch. Saturday and Sunday will bring highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s, perfect for holiday errands or outdoor decorating before another system brings light rain chances early next week.
Five-Day Outlook (Nashville Area):
- Thursday: Wintry mix late, high 41°F.
- Friday: Mostly cloudy, high 47°F.
- Saturday: Partly sunny, high 51°F.
- Sunday: Scattered showers possible, high 50°F.
- Monday: Partly cloudy, high 49°F.
