Best Chance For Snow, Sleet, and Ice Accumulations Continues to Appear to be Saturday Night through Sunday Evening...
A surface low-pressure system, moving along the Gulf Coast, will spread a mixed bag of precipitation northward into Middle Tennessee this weekend.
The first round of wintry precipitation will occur tonight and early Saturday, especially along the Interstate 40 corridor. This should be mainly a snow and rain, with slushy snow accumulations of a few tenths of an inch possible. It might be enough to at least whiten the ground in some areas.
A better chance for a wintry mix will occur Saturday night through Sunday evening, consisting of a mix of snow, sleet and light freezing rain. There`s a possibility for an inch or two of snow and sleet in areas north and west of Nashville and along the Highland Rim, then eastward to the Cumberland Plateau.
Right now, it looks like our extreme northeastern areas, including Fentress County, could get upwards of 3 inches. If skies remain cloudy over the east on Sunday, as expected, believe high temperatures along the Cumberland Plateau may not get out of the middle 30s.
The Nashville area could see a slushy half inch to one inch of snow and sleet Saturday night and Sunday. There could also be light freezing rain amounts around five-hundredths of an inch or less mainly for locations around and north of the I-40 corridor on Saturday night. As colder air spreads in behind our departing low-pressure area Sunday night and early Monday, we could see some additional snow accumulations of few tenths of an inch.
