Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, January 19, 2025. We're starting off with some important weather updates. A cold weather advisory is in effect from 6 PM today to noon tomorrow, with temperatures expected to drop into the single digits and wind chills as low as 5 below zero.

Today, we're looking at a 50 percent chance of snow showers, mainly before 10 AM, with a high near 32 and northwest winds around 15 mph, gusting up to 25 mph.
