NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – First Alert Weather Days are in effect today and Monday as wintry weather will impact parts of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky this morning and Monday morning.
Use extreme caution on the roads today as a wintry mix moves into the area. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for several counties along and north of I-40 and into the Cumberland Plateau today. While most areas in Middle Tennessee will just see plain rain showers, areas north of I-40 will see some freezing rain and sleet 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, temperatures will warm through the day into the upper 40s, which will allow the wintry precipitation to change over to rain pretty quickly.

By tonight, some strong storms will develop. While we are not forecasting severe weather, there will be areas, especially in western Middle Tennessee, that will see heavy downpours, gusty wind and rumbles of thunder. Most of the Midstate will see 1-2″ of rain, but no flooding concerns at this time…
