...WINTER STORM EXPECTED IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE THIS WEEK...

A WINTER STORM IS STILL FORECAST FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE
THIS WEEK, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND
ICE ACCUMULATIONS. COMPUTER MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THIS
FORECAST OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL DURING
THAT PERIOD SHOULD REMAIN AWARE OF THE LATEST WEATHER FORECAST.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM WEST TEXAS THURSDAY
INTO LOUISIANA BY FRIDAY MORNING, THEN INTO THE COASTAL PLAINS OF
GEORGIA EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE AN
INCREASE IN MOISTURE ACROSS THE MID STATE WHILE PULLING 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...

THURSDAY NIGHT, RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE, GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40, WITH A
MIXTURE OF RAIN, SLEET, AND FREEZING RAIN SOUTH. SNOW AND ICE
ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE.

ON FRIDAY, SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTH WHILE SPREADING
SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE ALABAMA BORDER DURING THE DAY. LOCATIONS
ACROSS SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE NOT EXPERIENCING SNOWFALL WILL
SEE A MIXTURE OF RAIN, SLEET, AND FREEZING RAIN. SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW AND ICE ARE PROBABLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

THEN ON FRIDAY NIGHT, MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
ENTIRE MID STATE, RESULTING IN MORE SNOWFALL. ADDITIONAL SNOW AND
ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE.

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THEREFORE, IT IS SIMPLY TOO EARLY TO
PROVIDE A RELIABLE FORECAST OF SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS. THERE
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS
OCCURRING OVER A LARGE PART OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE BY THE TIME
PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY MORNING.
