Nashville is throwing the "S" word out there
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will be firmly across the area for the next couple
of days. Even with a cold front moving through yesterday...
afternoon high temperatures were able to get into the 60 to 63
degree range today. Expect afternoon high temperatures to warm a
few degrees each day with upper 60s in Nashville by Monday.
With the boundary being situated across North Alabama/Southern
Tennessee there should be some patchy fog /possible areas of
dense/ east of I-24 and south of I-40 by early morning hours. It
may be slow to burn off once again across the Plateau and the
Crossville area.
As has been advertised...the next front will be mid week. There
should be a slight amount of upper level instability on
Tuesday...and with highs around 60 have elected to add a slight
chance of thunderstorms. Will go with categorical pops west for
Monday night and east on Tuesday.
Models agree that there will be some seriously cold air behind
this front. It will definitely feel more like winter than it has
so far this year. Saturday morning temperatures will be in the
lower to mid 20s. The extended models still disagree with the
smaller features of this system. The front moves through Tuesday
night through Wednesday. Then the GFS has two additional clipper
system Thursday and Saturday where the EURO keeps a more elongated
trough across the south. At this time will kind of split the
difference and keep slight chance pops Thursday and Friday.
With
such cold air in place this means that mixed precip and snow has
been put into the forecast.
