Good Chance of Light Snow Accumulations Tonight...
A strong cold front will bring rainfall and falling temperatures to the area today. As cold air catches up with the moisture, the rain will turn to snow this evening and through the overnight hours. Snowfall accumulations will be light and will range from a dusting up to one half inch, and possibly around an inch on the Cumberland Plateau. Due to the light snow amounts and some residual surface moisture, area roadways could develop slick spots as overnight lows will bottom out in the mid 20s by sunrise Tuesday.
An approaching cold front bringing rain showers into Middle TN this
afternoon, but by early evening, the cold air mass following the frontal system will help to change the rain briefly to a rain/snow mix and eventually over to all snow.
Snowfall accumulations are expected to be light, with up to around an inch possible on the Cumberland Plateau, and a dusting up to around a half inch elsewhere. Travel impacts should be minimal west of the Cumberland Plateau. However, some slick spots will be possible on area roadways, especially on bridges and overpasses. Travel impacts will be possible across the Plateau Tuesday morning due to slightly more snowfall. Wind chills may be one of the larger impacts Tuesday morning, with low teen to single digit wind chills possible across all of Middle TN.
