  1. If this made me as miserable as it seems to make him I would put it down for a while.

    Been a tough year for Nashville/Mid TN for sure but have two chances (obviously our best in the two years I’ve been in Nashville) to cash in this week. Really good opportunities for something to happen. If models are showing me half decent chances tomorrow I’m going to start getting pretty excited.

    Early this Friday morning, temperatures were mainly in the 27-32
    range with patchy freezing fog/drizzle. The fog was most dense
    across the Upper Cumberland. Much of the surface moisture left
    over from yesterday had dried up thanks to steady north winds, but
    any lingering moisture had likely frozen. With all this in mind,
    we have issued a Special Wx Statement highlighting the potential
    for ice, especially on elevated surfaces, continuing through the
    morning rush hour. For the daytime, skies will remain cloudy
    with a chilly north wind. We have lowered forecast high temps
    several degrees from our standard model blend, more in line with
    the colder NAM guidance.

    Through this forecast period, we will be dealing with several
    winter wx events that could have significant impacts on travel. An
    arctic air mass will continue to be centered over the Upper
    Midwest and extend down into Tennessee. As the arctic air mass
    sprawls southward, the cold, dense air will be more shallow. This
    will maintain our current setup of cold temperatures at the
    surface with warmer air several thousand feet up above the
    surface. With each expected disturbance through the next 7 days,
    the warm air aloft and cold air near the surface will result in
    mixed wintry precipitation. At times, the atmosphere will be warm
    enough for all rain, and at times the cold air will become deep
    enough for all snow. But lots of transitions will make
    forecasting exact amounts and impacts very challenging.

    The first system will come late tonight through midday Saturday.
    This system will track to our southeast and spread moisture up
    across the cold air already in place over Middle Tennessee. We
    think freezing rain will be the result, but the big question is
    how much moisture and precipitation will occur. The latest models
    show very light amounts, mainly over the southeast half of our
    area. No headlines will be issued at this time, but later today or
    tonight, a brief Winter Weather Advisory may be required for
    localized travel impacts.

    The next system- a much stronger one- will impact the area late
    Sunday through Monday and Monday night. This will be a
    transitioning system with mainly freezing rain / ice to start,
    eventually changing to all snow with accumulations possible.
    Details of this complex system are in question at this time, and
    model cycles leading up to events have not been very consistent
    this winter season. But, significant travel impacts are likely, so
    we will highlight that in our Hazardous Wx Outlook and social
    media posts.

    Yet another round of wintry wx is expected late Wednesday and
    Thursday with travel impacts possible.

    Other than the winter wx potential, the next 7 days will be very
    cloudy and cold. Temperatures will average 10-20 degrees below
    normal.

  3. Would like to thank you guys for all the input. I’ve been following for years. This storm definitely has become more concerning for me in Wilson Co. (definitely making a run to the grocery tomorrow) Worried how we are this close to an event and all of the High res models have a different line. This season has brought a lot of unexpected across the region and I don’t think that’s going to change this week. We are in for a wild 24 hours to see what’s going to happen. I wish everyone the best.

  4. Special Weather Statement
    for Davidson County

    Issued by National Weather Service
    Nashville, TN

    ...Freezing Rain and Light Ice Accumulations Possible Wednesday Night into the Day Thursday...

    Potential for freezing rain and some ice accumulation is possible for areas mainly north of I-40 starting late Wednesday evening through the daytime Thursday. Up to around a tenth of an inch of ice is possible, mainly on grassy and cold surfaces, with the best chance for ice accumulation after midnight through noon Thursday. Temperatures will be right around to just below freezing during that time, with most road temperatures likely staying just above freezing. Widespread power outages and tree damage is not expected, however, slick spots on elevated surfaces may occur. Stay tuned for forecast updates on this evolving weather system.
