Middle Tennessee is bracing for an intense cold front and potential winter weather as temperatures are forecasted to plunge starting at the end of December into early January 2024. Residents are advised to prepare for significant temperature drops and the possible arrival of a snowstorm next week. In particular, the forecast for the New Year weekend predicts overnight lows to dip below freezing, with many areas experiencing single-digit temperatures. Meteorologists are warning that wind chill factors may make it feel even colder than the actual temperatures, with some forecasts suggesting feels-like temperatures could reach as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit in the region. National Weather Service meteorologist David Cohen stated, ‘This will be one of the coldest snaps we’ve seen in a while, and we want residents to take precautions.’ A winter weather advisory may be issued should snow accumulation be significant. Precipitation is likely as the colder air mass moves into the area, raising concerns about freezing rain and sleet in addition to snow. Emergency services have urged the community to stay informed about weather updates and to prepare for potential travel disruptions. It is essential for people to check their heating systems and stock up on essential supplies as the harsh weather approaches.
