Temperatures will be in the 50s through the middle of the week but a strong cold front is expected on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and could bring some showers and even some snowflakes.

A mostly sunny and dry spell of weather will continue for the week ahead with afternoon highs climbing from the upper 40s to the mid-50s by Wednesday and Thursday.

This is going to be a pretty chilly week across Middle Tennessee with the warmest days in the mid- to upper-40s near the end of the week.

A week starting out with frost and freeze across Middle Tennessee will see the temperature slowly warm up as we go through the week.

It is looking cooler across Middle Tennessee this week, certainly lower temperatures than we had last week with that beautiful summer-like weather.

I just can't say enough good things about this forecast that I have for you. We get autumn kicked off in fine fashion with some beautiful weather across Middle Tennessee.
