Sunshine fills our skies for Monday and Tuesday.

Frost Advisory Sunday Night

The NWS Nashville has issued a FROST ADVISORY for tonight and Monday morning for the Cumberland Plateau. Overnight lows are expected to fall into the lower 30s, leading to widespread frost. Patchy frost could occur again Monday night, especially in the typically colder spots on the plateau.

Temps will tumble rather quickly after sunset this evening.

Keep in mind that the plateau isn’t normally free from the threat of frost until the middle of May (no matter how warm it may get between now and then…. ).

You all have a good Sunday evening and stay warm tonight!
