CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Temperatures will warm somewhat today, reaching 36 in Clarksville, but another blast of frigid air will spread into the region beginning Friday.

We can expect to spend 60-70 consecutive hours below freezing this weekend, according to the National Weather Service. Overnight lows will be in the single digits Friday and Saturday with below zero wind chills.

There is a slight chance for a dusting of snow Friday through Saturday, and freezing fog is possible at night, especially where ice and snow remain. “Continue to use caution if traveling this week as slick and icy spots will persist!” the NWS said.

Road conditions, bus service in Clarksville

While the main roads in Clarksville are mostly clear, many side streets are still covered in packed ice. The bigger issue is with driveways, sidewalks and parking lots. Also, be alert for pedestrians, and some have been seen walking on major roadways because sidewalks are blocked with plowed-up snow.

Clarksville Transit System will operate reduced service on Thursday. Bus and Paratransit “The Lift” will provide service 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Administrative offices will remain closed. Note that this reduced service is modified from previously posted snow routes to reflect current road conditions. Some routes may be shortened, detoured, or temporarily bypass certain areas.
