...FROZEN PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...

COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE MID STATE TONIGHT.
AT THE SAME TIME...MOISTURE WILL SPREAD OVER THE REGION AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SOME
WINTRY WEATHER LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING.

THE LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND
IT MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL DAYBREAK FOR MANY AREAS. HOWEVER...ANY
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS COULD BE IN THE FORM OF SLEET OR FREEZING
RAIN. THIS COULD POSE PROBLEMS FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE ON THURSDAY.

THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING
...AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE RISING. THE THREAT FOR ICE AND SLICK
ROADS WILL REMAIN UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE WARMS ABOVE THE FREEZING
MARK.

THE AREA OF GREATEST CONCERN IS NORTHWEST MIDDLE
TENNESSEE...INCLUDING THE CLARKSVILLE AREA. THIS AREA WILL HAVE
THE SLOWEST TRANSITION TO RAIN...SO ICE MAY ACCUMULATE TO ONE TENTH
OF AN INCH. OVER THE REMAINDER OF MIDDLE TN...ONLY LIGHT ICE AND
SLEET ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION CHANGES
OVER TO ALL RAIN.

PEOPLE PLANNING TRAVEL IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE TONIGHT INTO
THURSDAY SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS FOR UPDATES
ON THIS WINTER WEATHER SITUATION.
