…Winter-like conditions make an appearance in the mid-state this
Week…
Some of the coldest temperatures of this winter are expected over
The next 24 to 30 hours. A combination of north winds of 5 to 10
Mph along with temperature readings in the teens this morning…And
Only a warm up into the mid to upper 20s this afternoon…Will
Create wind chills in the teens and single digits today. While
Winds will calm tonight…Single digit morning lows are expected
Tuesday morning.
On Wednesday…A wintry mix of snow…Sleet and even freezing rain
Is possible before noon for all of middle tennessee. Some ice
Accumulations are even possible…Especially for the cumberland
Plateau. While ice accumulations are expected to be small…This
Will still have a heavy impact on travel around the mid-state
Wednesday morning. Temperatures are expected to warm back above
Freezing Wednesday afternoon and melt any accumulated ice.
Yet another system is expected to arrive Thursday. Starting as
All rain during the day Thursday…Cold air will filter in quickly
And turn the rain over to snow by daybreak Friday. Snow
Accumulations will be possible with this system as well.
