At 6:00 AM in Nashville, the early morning air is crisply cold, with the thermometer marking a chilly -10°C. A gentle breeze moves at just 3.6 kph under a vast, uninterrupted expanse of clear sky. With no precipitation to coax umbrellas open, the city wakes quietly, the streets glossed in a faint shimmer of frost that catches the early light.

As the day progresses, the sun, unobscured by clouds, will coax temperatures upward but only modestly. The high is expected to reach a cool 3.2°C. Despite the sun’s efforts, the breeze will persist, strengthening at times to 11.7 kph, rustling through barren branches and stirring fallen leaves in quiet corners. The landscape, stark in its wintry hues, holds firmly onto the cold, with no chance of precipitation to disrupt the day’s calm clarity.

As evening approaches and the sun dips below the horizon, the temperature will once again descend, reaching a low of around -4.2°C tonight. The wind will continue its steady pace, the night air moving just briskly enough to whisper through the desolate streets. The sky will remain clear, strewn with a tapestry of stars, each one a sharp point of light against the dark velvet of the night.

In such clarity and with the night’s embrace, the city will settle beneath its cool blanket, resting under the watchful gaze of constellations until the dawn stirs it awake once more.
