...A BRIEF COOLING TREND THIS WEEKEND MAY RESULT IN A WINTRY MIX
   OVER THE MID STATE...

EVEN THOUGH MILD TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY...
COOLER AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY...AND ALLOW FOR A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION TO DEVELOP IN
THE MID STATE.

A LOW PRESSURE AREA WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO SATURDAY AND HEAD NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD NORTH CAROLINA ON
SUNDAY.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE AREA PUSHES SOUTH AND EAST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY, COLDER AIR WILL WORK ITS WAY IN FROM
THE NORTHEAST. RAIN IS FORECAST TO MIX WITH SNOW OVER NORTHERN AND
WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE MID STATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND OVER OTHER
AREAS ON SUNDAY. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
COOL INTO THE MIDDLE 30S ALONG THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AND IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT THE PRECIPITATION COULD TURN TO ALL SNOW ALONG THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...BEFORE TAPERING OFF AND ENDING SUNDAY
EVENING.

RIGHT NOW...IT LOOKS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE
FREEZING MARK DURING THIS UPCOMING PRECIPITATION EVENT...WHICH SHOULD
PREVENT ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION. HOWEVER...IF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM INTENSIFIES MORE THAN EXPECTED AS IT PASSES EAST OF THE
MID STATE... TEMPERATURES ALONG THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU COULD DROP
TO THE FREEZING MARK BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND ALLOW FOR
A BRIEF PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW...ESPECIALLY ON GRASSY AREAS.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE MID STATE SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO A RELIABLE SOURCE OF
WEATHER INFORMATION FOR ANY WEATHER STATEMENTS THAT MIGHT BE
ISSUED.
