Widespread frost and a few spots with freezing temperatures tonight. Dry the next few days. Rain chances return Wednesday night. While recent rains have helped, extreme drought continues for much of Middle Tennessee. High pressure sits to our west in dark silence Scattered cirrus floating through the frozen night Light winds whisper as the mercury drops down Outlying areas freezing under clear skies Temperatures rebound into the low to mid sixties Calm conditions prelude to the coming plague The dry air holds the land in desperate thirst Wednesday daylight hours keep the prophecy locked Until the shortwave moves across the sky An upper lobe of force is pulling close The Great Lakes vortex opens up its gates A massive low rotates across the eastern third Diving from the plains Another lobe of energy clips the plateau late Drug southward comes the Arctic icy blade Thirties on Thursday night, forties on Friday peak Twenties by Saturday morning in the chill Recent rains were not enough to break the curse An upper lobe of force is pulling close The Great Lakes vortex opens up its gates A massive low rotates across the eastern third Diving from the plains Diving from the plains The cold air drug south Diving from the plains Twenties in the dawn Diving from the plains

SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Monday Night) Issued at 1031 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026
High pressure is sitting to our west with just some scattered cirrus around tonight.
With light winds and mainly clear skies, temperatures in the outlying areas will drop to or just below freezing with widespread frost across the remainder of the area.
Temperatures will rebound on Sunday with highs a couple of degrees warmer than today.
Sunday night will be similar with cool and calm conditions with plenty of frost around by Monday morning.
Dry conditions will continue to start the work week with temperatures moderating closer to normal during the afternoon with highs in the low to mid 60s.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1031 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026
Tuesday and Wednesday will be a couple of degrees warmer with dry conditions through the daylight hours of Wednesday.
Models continue to agree on some medium PoPs Wednesday night into Thursday as a shortwave diving out of the upper plains attempts to phase with another lobe of energy moving into the Great Lakes.
This will result in a large upper low rotating around a large portion of the eastern third of CONUS.
Another lobe of energy will clip the area late Thursday which will result in some low PoPs on the plateau.
In addition to rain chances, some cooler air will be drug southward with this system.
We'll be back in the 30s Thursday night and locations along the plateau will likely only make it to the 40s on Friday.
That cold air will stick around to start next weekend with some 20s likely showing up Saturday morning.
