NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — So far this fall has been very warm. Temperatures have been in the 70s and 80s and Nashville has yet to see a freeze. This is all expected to change this week.
On Tuesday, Nov. 19, a cold front will swing through middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky. Along the front, we will see showers and a few thunderstorms. After the front moves through, we will see a big temperature drop.
Thursday will be very cold and windy, with temperatures struggling to get out of the 30s in the afternoon. Precipitation will move in from the north on Thursday. Yes precipitation, not just rain. Parts of east Tennessee and the Plateau could see their first snowflakes of the season!
It looks like a few wet snowflakes will arrive, but accumulating snow is unlikely.
Along with the cold temperatures, we will see very strong winds. From Wednesday through Friday, there will be a northwest wind gusting anywhere from 15 to 30 mph. This will make it feel even colder. Wind chills could get into the 20s for parts of middle Tennessee.
