NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — All four seasons are hitting us in one day — starting with 50s and rain and moving into a snowy mix overnight.
A storm 5 alert has been issued for Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. due to the many changes in weather in such a short time period.
Strong storms are drifting across the area now, with 40 mph wind gusts and some small hail. These will continue through 6 p.m. Monday night.
Around 8 p.m., temperatures will drop and we will transition to a rain/snow mix initially, then a brief window (around 4 hours total) of wet snow along and North of I-40.
Accumulations should be light and confined mainly to grassy surfaces/elevated surfaces, because ground temps are so warm and wet. But the flakes that do fall with be fat & wet and look very impressive as they fly.
This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
