A Minor Cold Weather Advisory continues to grip Nashville, effective until noon CST Monday. Current conditions as of 7:28 PM show a chilly Nashville wrapped in an overcast sky. The temperature stands at a frigid 17.1°F, accompanied by a brisk wind moving at 9.6 mph, while precipitation remains absent.

Earlier today, the mercury scarcely climbed, reaching a high of only 21.4°F, while the low dipped to 12.9°F. The wind was assertive throughout the day, gusting up to 12.5 mph, though the skies stayed generous, sparing the city any precipitation under the thick blanket of clouds.

Tonight, the narrative of cold continues unaltered. Temperatures are expected to drop slightly to a low of 14.9°F, potentially making any travel or outdoor activities particularly piercing to the senses. The wind persists at speeds up to 9.6 mph, and the heavy clouds promise a consistently overcast night with no precipitation forecasted.

This prolonged cold spell serves as a stark reminder from nature, as stated in the advisory: very cold temperatures and wind chills as low as zero by Sunday morning will affect a portion of Middle Tennessee. Exposure to these elements could be more than uncomfortable—it could be hazardous, leading to risks of hypothermia if precautions are not taken.

Residents are advised to adjust plans accordingly, prioritize warmth, and limit exposure to the biting cold that has settled over the city. As we move through the evening and into the night, let’s heed the ongoing advisory and stay informed, ensuring safety in the cold clasp of winter’s firm embrace.
