COLD START: We're in the 20's across much of Middle Tennessee this morning with a heavy frost. Some areas are dealing with freezing fog issues. Freezing fog can put a light but slippery coat of ice down on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses. Be careful if you run in to that situation.
SUNNY SKIES: Sunshine for your Tuesday with highs in the lower 50's across the Cookeville area. Enjoy it, because it is possible we won't see sunshine again until Sunday. Rain enters the picture all the way through Christmas Day (sorry kids, no white Christmas), but we do have a chance for snow flurries the day after Christmas. Full details in the forecast link below.
