...WINTER WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND SUNDAY NIGHT...

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE MID STATE TONIGHT AND BRING
WITH IT A ROUND OF RAINFALL. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL TO
THE SOUTH OF TENNESSEE ON SUNDAY. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN
DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. AS THIS
FEATURE LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE BOUNDARY...MOISTURE WILL
SPREAD NORTHWARD AND THEN UP AND OVER THE COLD AIR MOVING INTO THE
MID STATE. AS THE COLDER AIR MEETS UP WITH THE NORTHWARD MOVING
MOISTURE...WINTRY PRECIPITATION...INCLUDING SNOW...SLEET AND SOME
FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY
SUNDAY NIGHT.

FOR AREAS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN MID STATE...INCLUDING
CLARKSVILLE...DOVER AND CAMDEN...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SNOW BY
SUNDAY EVENING. SOME ACCUMULATION OF SNOWFALL IS LIKELY OVERNIGHT.

FOR AREAS FROM PORTLAND...THROUGH NASHVILLE TO LOBELVILLE...RAIN
WILL CHANGE TO SNOW BY EARLY TO MID EVENING. PERIODS OF SLEET MAY
ALSO OCCUR AT TIMES THROUGH THIS AREA. SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION
WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT.

FOR AREAS FROM THE NORTHERN PLATEAU...TO MURFREESBORO...TO
LAWRENCEBURG...A MIXTURE OF SNOW AND SLEET IS POSSIBLE ALONG WITH
SOME SLEET AND SNOW ACCUMULATION.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MID STATE...WHICH INCLUDES
SPENCER...SHELBYVILLE AND OTHER AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PLATEAU...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO A SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MIXTURE
AFTER MIDNIGHT. SOME LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT UP TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW COULD OCCUR IN
THE FAR NORTHWEST PORTION OF MIDDLE TN...WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES OVER
CENTRAL AREAS. NO SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHEAST...BUT UP TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE WILL BE POSSIBLE
FOR THAT AREA. PLEASE NOTE THAT A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS
IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION TYPE AND ACCUMULATION AMOUNTS.

OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES BY SUNRISE MONDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE
MID 20S NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 30S FAR SOUTHEAST. THUS...THE
MORNING COMMUTE WILL LIKELY BE SLICK AND DANGEROUS FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF TO JUST A FEW SNOW SHOWERS ALONG
THE PLATEAU BY MONDAY MORNING.

FUTURE UPDATES AND OR WATCHES...ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS MAY BE
ISSUED AS THE TIMING OF THIS WINTER WEATHER EVENT APPROACHES.
