CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The holiday is bringing some extreme weather to Clarksville, but it’s not exactly white Christmas. We’re expecting wind chills in the single digits on Christmas Day.

“Places west of there to the I-65 corridor could see trace to half-inch amounts with bands of snow that are expected to develop this afternoon. Roads may become slick this evening as any snow that accumulates is unlikely to melt due to below freezing temperatures,” an NWS alert said.

“Expect lows to dip into the teens across the mid state Friday morning. Westerly winds around 5 to 10 mph will allow wind chill values to drop into the 0 to 5 degree range for many places across Middle Tennessee.

“Prolonged exposure to these temperatures without proper clothing will be dangerous. These temperatures will also be hazardous to outdoor animals who are left without proper shelter,” the NWS said.
