...ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL POTENTIAL FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...

ALTHOUGH THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A LIGHT DUSTING TO A FEW TENTHS OF
AN INCH OF SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT...
THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL ACROSS THIS REGION...AND
ACROSS MOST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE...LOOKS TO BE FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
AT LEAST THE MORNING HOURS ON SATURDAY. SNOW MAY EVEN PERSIST POSSIBLY
INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON SATURDAY ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND
PLATEAU REGION...AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW BRINGS WEAK DISTURBANCES TO THE
MID STATE.

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY STILL REMAINS WITH ACTUAL TIMING OF UPPER LEVEL
LOW AND ASSOCIATED MOVEMENT ACROSS THE MID STATE. BUT AS OF THIS TIME...
THERE IS AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS GENERALLY
AROUND THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH ACROSS LOCATIONS NEAR THE TENNESSEE/ALABAMA
BORDER...TO AROUND ONE AND ONE HALF INCHES ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
HIGHLAND RIM AND LOCATIONS APPROACHING THE TENNESSEE/KENTUCKY BORDER.
AMOUNTS ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU MAY RANGE
FROM TWO INCHES...TO LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS APPROACHING THREE INCHES ACROSS
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE PLATEAU.

THIS WINTER WEATHER EVENT COULD RESULT IN TRAVEL PROBLEMS ACROSS THE MID
STATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY...AND MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO USE EXTRA
CAUTION ON AREA ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY SECONDARY ROADS...IF THIS OCCURS.
ALSO...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF
MIDDLE TENNESSEE DURING THE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY TIME PERIOD AS
THIS EVENT APPROACHES.
