NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — It looks like our spring-like weather is going away for a few days the week of March 16.
Middle Tennessee is forecasted to see below freezing temperatures, frigid wind chills and even a few snow showers will be possible!
Spring-like weather is still in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, March 14 and 15. The News 2 Weather Authority Team is forecasting high temperatures in the 70s!
Everything changes on Sunday night. A strong cold front will swing from west to east across the country, bringing a big drop in temperatures. This is when we will see the return of winter-like temperatures.
Along the cold front, there could be a few strong to severe thunderstorms, especially in West Tennessee. These storms could produce widespread wind gusts over 60 mph.
The latest forecast model data is showing the potential for a few snow showers on the back side of the cold front. Forecast models tend to overestimate snow showers in these scenarios, but a few blowing snow flurries on Monday morning look likely. Folks on the Cumberland Plateau could see a quick dusting.
The biggest impact will come from the temperatures and windchills. On Monday morning, temperatures will be in the 30s, but with very strong northwest winds, it will feel like the teens and 20s…
