Nashville gets one more relatively mild afternoon Thursday before a sharp cold snap takes over Middle Tennessee. Temperatures may reach 60 degrees, but a blustery northwest wind will make the day feel cooler before frost and freezing temperatures arrive this weekend.
Windy Thursday Gives Way To Frost
Thursday, November 12, will be mostly sunny early, with clouds increasing later and temperatures falling toward the mid-50s by afternoon. Northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph could gust as high as 25 mph, while the chance of a light shower remains low and is more focused on areas northeast of Nashville, according to the National Weather Service.
Thursday night will turn cold, with a low near 35 degrees. Friday will bring a chilly start before temperatures struggle to reach 50 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.
Hard Freeze Arrives This Weekend
The coldest stretch arrives Friday night, November 13, when temperatures are expected to fall to around 30 degrees, bringing a hard freeze. The latest outlook sharpens the freeze threat compared with Hoodline’s earlier forecast, with freezing conditions now expected across the Nashville metro area.
Saturday morning will remain cold. Skies will turn sunny, but the afternoon high will only reach about 51 degrees; Saturday night will be the coldest night, with widespread 20s.
Gradual Warmup Arrives Next Week
The pattern finally eases Monday, with a high near 54 expected. Nashville should reach about 57 Tuesday and 61 Wednesday, with dry weather and light winds helping the city thaw out after several mornings in the 20s and 30s.
