...POTENTIAL FOR LATE WEEK WINTER STORM IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...

A WINTER STORM IS FORECAST FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE THIS
WEEK...PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS. COMPUTER
MODELS HAVE BECOME CONSISTENT WITH THIS FORECAST OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL DAYS...AND INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL DURING THAT
PERIOD SHOULD REMAIN ABREAST OF THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST.

A LOW PRESSURE AREA WILL MOVE ALONG THE GULF COASTAL REGION AND
PULL IN COLDER AIR FROM THE NORTH.

THE TIME OF GREATEST IMPACT WILL BE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...AND THIS IS HOW THINGS ARE EXPECTED TO UNFOLD...

...FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...WE LOOK FOR A CHANGE FROM RAIN TO SNOW
ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...WITH A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET...AND FREEZING
RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTH. SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE.

...FOR FRIDAY...SNOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH SNOW ALSO
SPREADING INTO SOME SOUTHERN AREAS DURING THE DAY. MEANWHILE PARTS
OF SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE A MIX OF
RAIN...SLEET...AND FREEZING RAIN. SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS OF
SNOW AND ICE ARE LIKELY.

...FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...MUCH COLDER AIR SPREADS IN...WITH SNOW
EXPECTED OVER ALL OF THE MID STATE. MORE SNOW AND ICE
ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY.

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF
THE LOW PRESSURE AREA ALONG THE GULF COAST. THEREFORE...IT IS
DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE A RELIABLE FORECAST OF TOTAL SNOW AND ICE
ACCUMULATIONS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT SIGNIFICANT
SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION WILL OCCUR OVER A LARGE PART...IF NOT
ALL...OF THE MID STATE BY THE TIME PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT.
