A Quick Shot of Measurable Snow Possible Over Parts of the Mid State Late Tonight and Early Monday.

A low-pressure system will move across our area tonight and early Monday, pulling in colder air from the north and giving northern and eastern parts of Middle Tennessee a chance for measurable snowfall. 

The best chance for snowfall accumulation will be in the counties near the Kentucky border, especially along the Highland Rim, north of Nashville, extending eastward toward Lafayette, Smithville and the Cumberland Plateau. Those areas could see between one half and one inch of snow accumulation late tonight into early Monday morning.

There is still some uncertainty regarding snowfall accumulations and temperatures late Sunday night and early Monday are expected to drop to between 29 and 32 degrees over extreme northern Middle Tennessee and along the Cumberland Plateau. 

So, it is possible that some roads could become slushy or snow covered. Any snow that falls won`t stick around long, as temperatures are forecast to top out in the 40s to around 50 by Monday afternoon.

Special Weather Statement: Snow Possible Monday Night and Tuesday.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW LIKELY FOR 

MIDDLE TENNESSEE MONDAY NIGHT 

AND TUESDAY. 

Snow accumulations are likely once again for 

all of Middle Tennessee Monday night and Tuesday. 

Snowfall totals are expected to range from one half inch 

to 2 inches, with the higher totals on the Cumberland Plateau.

While there could be a mix of snow and rain for a couple hours in areas northwest of metro Nashville late Monday afternoon, the changeover to all snow is expected to happen quickly for everyone after sunset Monday. Snows will continue throughout the day Tuesday, so while accumulation are not expected to be more than one and a half inches west of the Cumberland Plateau, both the morning and afternoon commutes could be slick ones.

Special Weather Statement: More Winter Weather likely for the Weekend

A Winter Weather Event Possible Across Middle Tennessee Friday
into Saturday...

There is the possiblity of a winter weather event across Middle
Tennessee Friday into Saturday, with accumulations of ice and snow
creating hazardous travel.


An approaching frontal system will produce numerous light to
moderate rain showers Thursday night into Friday. As the cold
front crosses the area from west to east on Friday, temperatures
will fall below freezing, changing rain to freezing rain and
snow. By Friday evening, precipitation will be all snow. The snow
could continue into Saturday as well. On top of some ice
accumulation, several inches of snow could fall, especially across
the northern Highland Rim. Temperatures will be in the 20s Friday
night through Saturday, so hazardous travel is likely.

There is still a significant amount of uncertainty with this
possible winter weather event that is still more than 48 hours
out. Stay tuned for further information from the National Weather
Service Office in Nashville along with our media partners that
serve Middle Tennessee for the latest updates on this potential
winter weather event.

NWS Special Weather Statement: Wintry Mix possible Sunday Night into Monday Morning

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement:

A Period of Freezing Rain or Sleet is possible Sunday night
into early Monday...

Although most of this weekend is expected to be dry, a wintry mix,
consisting of rain, freezing rain and sleet, is forecast to
develop by Sunday evening, extending into early Monday. Any ice
accumulations are expected to be relatively light. Amounts should
average less than a tenth of an inch, with the best chance of
accumulation across the Cumberland Plateau region. It is possible
that some travel problems could develop, especially on bridges and
overpasses, before temperatures warm sufficiently to cause the
precipitation to change to all rain.

Right now, it looks like the most likely time for freezing rain
or sleet over western areas, including the Nashville Metro
area, will be Sunday night, between 6pm and midnight. After that,
temperatures west of Interstate 65 should warm enough to cause
precipitation to change to all rain. Meanwhile, folks in the Upper
Cumberland, where cold temperatures will last longer, could see
freezing rain or sleet linger into the morning commute on Monday.

Since this potential winter weather event is still 36 to 48 hours
away, the forecast is uncertain and subject to change. Listen to a
reliable source of weather information over the weekend to get
the latest forecast updates.

Wind Chill Advisory Continues tonight-Midnight to Noon Tuesday

From the National Weather Service Ofice, Nashville

WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO
NOON CST TUESDAY:

* WHAT...Very cold wind chills expected. The cold wind chills
  will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed
  skin. Expect wind chills to range from 10 above zero to 10
  below zero.

* WHERE...Portions of Middle Tennessee.

* WHEN...Midnight to noon Tuesday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Dress accordingly in plenty of layers and
  minimize exposed skin. In addition to these frigid temperatures,
  little recovery during the daytime hours could cause problems
  for exposed plumbing. Be sure to take the necessary precautions
  to keep water pipes from freezing. Bring pets indoors and check
  on neighbors, elderly, and the homeless.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Chill Advisory means that cold air and the wind will

occur if precautions are not taken. Make sure you wear a hat and gloves.

Special Weather Statement from Natl. Weather Service on Extreme Cold for New Years

Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service:

Arctic blast to impact the mid state over New Years...

An arctic cold front will move through the mid state on Saturday.
Much colder air will then spread across the area through the
weekend. Low temperatures will reach down into the teens by New
Years Eve morning and will only warm into the 20s during the day.
Then, on New years day, lows will range from 8 to 14 with highs
of 20 to 25.

Adding to the bone chilling cold will be the very low wind chill
values. Wind speeds of 10 to 15 mph will equate to wind chills in
the lower teens during the day on New Years Eve. Later that
evening...winds will persist with wind chill values dropping down
into the single digits. By sunrise, wind chills will reach as low
as 5 below zero in a few northern Middle Tennessee locations. Cold
temperatures will continue into Monday night where Middle
Tennessee will experience wind chill values of minus 5 to minus 8
degrees before sunrise.

If venturing outdoors during the holiday weekend, be sure to wear
multiple layers of clothing. Consider bringing any pets indoors
and check on the elderly. Also, be sure to take the necessary
precautions regarding the protection of water pipes from the cold.

Of additional note, if the expected low and high temperatures of
12 and 23 degrees, respectively for Nashville, occurs on New
Years day, it would mark the 4th coldest New Years Day on record.
The period of record extends all the way back to 1871.

National Weather Service issues statements on Tropic Storm Cindy effects.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT:

Tropical Storm Cindy to impact Middle Tennessee today through
Friday night.

Tropical Storm Cindy has made landfall on the Gulf Coast this
morning. Although it will quickly weaken as it moves further
inland, its remnants will still have a significant impact on the
weather across Middle Tennessee today through Friday night.

As the storm moves into the Lower Mississippi Valley tonight and
then across Middle Tennessee late Friday and Friday evening, look
for widespread showers and thunderstorms to spread across the
region. The prolonged exposure to copious tropical moisture will
contribute to significant rainfall amounts and possible flash
flooding, especially Friday and Friday night.

In addition to the heavy rainfall potential and flooding threat,
there is a marginal risk of severe storms across all of Middle
Tennessee today and tonight, and a marginal or slight risk of
severe storms Friday and Friday night. The primary threat
continues to be damaging straight line winds, but tropical systems
are also known to spawn weak, short-lived tornadoes.

Crossville Storm Clouds from earlier this month

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK:

DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy are expected to produce
significant rainfall amounts across Middle Tennessee beginning
today. Flooding impacts today and tonight will be minimal, and
restricted mainly to ponding of water on roads during heavy
downpours. In addition, there is a marginal risk of severe storms
across the entire mid state, with damaging straight line winds the
primary threat.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Rainfall amounts will intensify on Friday and Friday night as the
storm center moves directly across Middle Tennessee. Two day
rainfall amounts will average 2 to 4 inches, with most of this
occurring Friday and Friday evening. There is also a marginal or
slight risk of severe storms, with damaging straight line winds
once again the primary threat. However, it is important to
remember that tropical systems are known to produce weak, short-
lived tornadoes.

NOAA Special Weather Statement for 3-25-17 Rain could cause localized flooding.

Heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms may produce localized
flooding over parts of eastern Middle Tennessee tonight.

Early tonight, a slow moving band of showers and isolated
thunderstorms was located between Interstate 65 and the
Cumberland Plateau. Doppler radar indicated that some spots
received about a third of an inch of rain during the
evening hours...and some areas could receive an additional one
half to three quarters of an inch overnight. Localized rain
totals over an inch are possible tonight...especially over the
southeast...around Shelbyville, Manchester, Altamont and
McMinnville. Some isolated spots further north, toward Cookeville
and Gainesboro could see similar rain amounts.

These rains may cause water to pond in low lying areas, especially
in urban locations. If you are out driving tonight, you should
avoid areas where water covers the road. If you come upon a
flooded area, turn around and take an alternate route to your
destination.

Snow Accumulations are Possible Saturday Night...

A late season snowfall is possible across Middle Tennessee
as cold air is expected to filter into the state and change rain
Saturday afternoon into snow Saturday night.

Some uncertainty still exists to exactly how much snowfall will
occur, but it looks like the best chance for accumulation will be
on the Cumberland Plateau, where up to 2 inches will be possible.
Areas along and north of I-40 will also have a shot of up to an
inch. For those south of I-40, a dusting will be possible.

Thanks to our recent warm weather, ground temperatures will be
pretty warm this weekend. However, as temperatures drop into the
middle and upper 20s Saturday night, some slick spots could
develop on area roadways, especially over the north.

Please stay informed of the weather forecast this weekend and be
ready to adjust your travel plans as needed, especially for
Saturday night.

Snow is also forecast next week for Monday night and Tuesday morning.
