    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - Much warmer air will take over this weekend and into next week. NEXT 24 HOURS:Nothing but sunshine today with a mostly clear sky and highs in the lower 80s. You may notice a little haze in the sky.... that is from the Canadian wildfires going on. The smoke will not be dangerous to us here in the Midstate, it will just cause a little hazy look to the sky today through early next week. Lows fall to the low 60s overnight with increasing clouds.

Take a look at the moon tonight! Not only is it a full moon, it's a super moon! Great viewing conditions for it tonight. Did you know that Easter's date is determined by the moon?? Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox! https://t.co/OVwUv8lEi6
