Your Morning Forecast:
Sunshine and 66° later this afternoon, but we're starting in the 30's this morning across all of middle Tennessee. Some locations have patchy dense fog as well. Cloud increase tonight and we have a chance for showers, low 46°. Friday looks nice with a high of 67° and another shot at showers. A slight chance for showers through the weekend, highs in the middle 70's!
Frosty overnight:
We went under 36° at 3:59 am and stayed there until 6:28 am. I do expect the frost to damage some immature plants, but hopefully most will survive just fine. We are confident those weather is behind us until Autumn.
