A Cold and Blustery Halloween Is On Tap for Middle Tennessee.
After a storm system brings 1 to 2 inches of rainfall tonight, the
system will work off to our northeast by Thursday afternoon. As
the system exits, colder air will begin to spread across the mid
state. Early Thursday morning, temperatures will start out in the
mid 40s far northwest, to the lower to mid 60s Plateau. By late
afternoon, temperatures will fall into the upper 30s to mid 40s.
Making it feel even colder will be the west northwest winds of 10
to 15 mph. This will produce wind chill values of 30 to 35 degrees
during the trick or treating late afternoon and early evening
hours.
If participating in outdoor trick or treating activities, please
dress warmly by wearing layers of clothing, including a hat and
gloves.
Otherwise, overnight lows will reach the upper 20s to lower 30s
area wide by sunrise Friday morning. For that reason, a freeze
watch is currently in effect area wide. The near to just below
freezing overnight low temperatures will continue through the
weekend.
FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM THIS EVENING TO 9 AM CDT
FRIDAY.
* WHAT...Sub-freezing temperatures as low as 27 expected.
* WHERE...ALL of Middle Tennessee.
* WHEN...From 11 PM this evening to 9 AM CDT Friday.

Watch.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent
freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should
be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have
in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-
ground pipes to protect them from freezing.
