Snow could cause travel problems Sunday night and Monday morning according NOAA.

NOAA has issued a special weather statement about possible snow accumulation late this weekend.

File Photo

Patchy flurries or very light snow will develop across Middle Tennessee late tonight. A couple of slick spots could develop by daybreak Sunday, but should improve quickly Sunday morning as temperatures rise above freezing. 
Through the day Sunday, there will be scattered rain and snow showers. No major travel problems are expected with temperatures above freezing. By Sunday evening, temperatures will fall, and precipitation will change to all snow. Most of the mid-state will have snowfall amounts ranging from just flurries to a dusting. However, locations northeast of Interstate 24 will have greater accumulation potential, with around 1 inch expected for the Upper Cumberland Region. 

Higher elevations of the Plateau could have 1 to 2 inches of snowfall Sunday evening. A Winter Weather Advisory may become necessary for these areas as travel problems could develop across Middle Tennessee, especially Sunday night. Temperatures will be in the 20s Sunday night, so any travel problems could impact Monday morning work and school travel.

A hazordous weather statment has also been released;

THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. 

THERE IS A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. ONLY A DUSTING IS EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH A FEW SLICK SPOTS COULD DEVELOP BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. 

CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE AS TEMPERATURES PUSH ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK. 

ANOTHER PERIOD OF SNOW IS EXPECTED LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MOST OF THE MID-STATE WILL HAVE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS RANGING FROM JUST FLURRIES TO A DUSTING. HOWEVER...LOCATIONS NORTHEAST OF INTERSTATE 24 WILL HAVE GREATER ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL...WITH AROUND 1 INCH EXPECTED FOR THE UPPER CUMBERLAND REGION. HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE PLATEAU COULD HAVE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOWFALL SUNDAY EVENING.

 A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BECOME NECESSARY FOR THESE AREAS AS TRAVEL PROBLEMS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE, ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT.
