We know the question on your mind, Music City — when’s it going to get cold?
Thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, we know what temperatures and precipitation trends to expect in our city for December, January, and February.
While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for what winter will bring.
Reminder: The first day of winter is tomorrow, Dec. 21.
Temperature
Think warm. This winter, Nashville has a 33-40% chance of temperatures being higher than normal.
Precipitation
Our city is predicted to experience ordinary snow and rainfall amounts this season.
