NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Dangerously Cold Temps Continue
Storm 5 Alert:
WHEN: Today
THREATS: Dangerously Cold Temperatures
As arctic air hangs on across the Mid-South, and thousands still without power, a Storm 5 Alert for the dangerously cold setup continues across the NewsChannel 5 coverage area. All of the Mid-State remains under a Cold Weather Advisory as wind chill values started the day below zero for some, and will be in the teens and 20s this afternoon.
THANKFULLY, this Arctic air mass will move out beginning Monday, with temperatures rising into the 40s. While that’s still below the average high of around 50°F, it should significantly help with melting, cleanup, and recovery.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
