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.

Snow possible in the forecast for this weekend.

A forecast for snow accumulations this weekend shouldn't be as bad as the "Storm of the Century" 24 years ago back in 1993 when Crossville got over 25 inches of accumulation. 

Friday through Wednesday: A storm system will pass through Middle Tennessee this weekend with a good chance for snow late Saturday and Saturday night. Areas along and north of Interstate 40 may see around an inch of snow, with up to 2 inches along the Cumberland Plateau, and a dusting of snow south of Interstate 40.

Crossville's forecast for Saturday evening currently calls for Snow and sleet likely before 9pm, then snow with a Low around 25. North northeast wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

With a dusting of snow and light but steady snow still falling, Cumberland County Schools will close.  Kids rode the buses in but will be returning home shortly.  Roads in the city that have not been treated are snow covered and drives should use caution on the slick roads.
