NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – First Alert Weather Days are in effect Sunday and Monday as wintry weather will impact parts of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky Sunday morning and Monday morning.
Saturday will be a dry and sunny, but cold day. Expect temperatures to only reach the upper 30s in the afternoon. Lows fall to the upper 20s overnight.
First Alert Weather Days: Sunday and Monday
Use extreme caution on the roads early Sunday morning as a wintry mix begins to move into the Midstate. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Sunday from 3:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. While most everyone will just see plain rain showers, areas north of I-40 could see freezing rain that could lead to ice accumulation. In some spots, it could be up to a tenth of an inch. Worst case scenario, power outages and hazardous travel will be the main concerns. Luckily, temperature will warm through the day Sunday into the 40s, which will allow the wintry precipitation to change over to rain pretty quickly.
By Sunday evening, strong storms will develop. While we are not forecasting any severe weather, there will be areas that will see heavy downpours, gusty wind and rumbles of thunder. Most of the Midstate will see 1-2″ of rain Sunday night.
As the rain exits overnight into Monday morning, temperatures will drop to below freezing again, changing over the rain to snow. Only a dusting of snow is expected, but the Monday morning commute could be tricky for areas north of I-40 and into the Plateau. Snow exits out of the Plateau by mid-afternoon Monday.
Behind the wintry weather, an arctic blast of cold air moves in. Temperatures will be the coldest we’ve seen this season.
Expect highs to be around freezing with lows in the teens through the end of the week. It will stay dry until Friday. That’s when we could see a few snow showers in the area.
