Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, February 20, 2025.
We're starting off with a cold weather advisory that's been issued for our area. The National Weather Service warns of bitter cold temperatures through Saturday morning, with single-digit and lower temperatures in the teens for the next couple of nights. This means we can expect icy conditions on our roads, especially overnight and early in the morning. The Nashville Department of Transportation has been working hard to treat roadways, but they urge motorists to use caution when driving.
Due to the weather, Metro Nashville Public Schools are closed today, and all before and after-school care is canceled unless the provider offers an inclement weather site. Additionally, the Metro Action Commission will remain remote today, and their Head Start and Early Head Start pre-school centers will be closed.
In other news, the Tennessee State Indoor High School Championships took place on February 16 at Vanderbilt University. This event brought together the best high school athletes in Tennessee to compete in various track and field events.
Looking ahead to the weekend, warmer weather is expected, which should bring some relief from the cold. For today, though, we're expecting partly sunny skies with a high near 25 degrees and wind chill values as low as zero.
In community news, we have a few updates. The WeGo Public Transit buses and WeGo Access service will operate on a Saturday schedule with snow route detours today. The WeGo Star, Star shuttles, and some extra routes will run their normal weekday schedules.
On the business front, there are no major openings or closings to report, but we do want to remind everyone to support our local businesses during this cold weather.
In sports, we don't have any major updates today, but we're looking forward to seeing our local teams back in action once the weather improves.
In terms of public safety, the Office of Emergency Management conducted cold patrols on Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon, providing essential services to those in need. They distributed 68 blankets, 47 cold weather kits, and assisted 11 stranded individuals.
Finally, we want to share a feel-good story. Despite the cold weather, our community has come together to help those in need. The Metro Social Services office, although closed today, has been working hard to provide assistance to families affected by the weather.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
