...A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED FOR PORTIONS OF THE
MID STATE TODAY...

...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION TODAY...

A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THIS MORNING...BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR SLIPPERY ROADS
AND ICY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU.
TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING ARE IN THE LOW TO MIDDLE 20S...SO ANY
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS WILL STAND A GOOD CHANCE OF PRODUCING
ICY SPOTS ON UNTREATED ROADS AND SURFACES.

WITH COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE...EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO START
OUT AS ALL SNOW...OR A SNOW AND SLEET MIX...OVER MOST OF THE MID
STATE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF
THE MID-STATE...AROUND LINDEN...LAWRENCEBURG...AND WAYNESBORO...
WHERE THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR A MIX OF RAIN...FREEZING
RAIN...AND SLEET.

WARMER AIR IS FORECAST TO WORK ITS WAY IN FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST
DURING THE DAY...LIKELY CHANGING THE PRECIPITATION OVER WESTERN
AREAS TO A RAIN AND SLEET MIX BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THE TEMPERATURE
AT NASHVILLE IS FORECAST TO RISE ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK DURING
THE LATE MORNING. BY MID-AFTERNOON...MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION
WEST AND SOUTH OF THE HIGHLAND RIM AND CUMBERLAND PLATEAU WILL
LIKELY BE ALL RAIN...INCLUDING THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA.
HOWEVER...SNOW IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE ALONG THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU
ALLOWING FOR ONE TO TWO INCHES OF SNOW TO ACCUMULATE...WITH AS
MUCH AS THREE INCHES POSSIBLE IN ISOLATED LOCATIONS. AS A
RESULT...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE PLATEAU
TODAY.

SNOW AMOUNTS OVER THE REST OF THE MID-STATE...WEST OF THE CUMBERLAND
PLATEAU...ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO AROUND A HALF INCH...
BEFORE IT MELTS IN THE RAIN LATER IN THE DAY.
