SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE HIGHEST IN FAR NORTHWEST MIDDLE
TENNESSEE...CLOSEST TO THE TENNESSEE RIVER AND KENTUCKY WHERE A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6AM SUNDAY. LOCATIONS
IN HOUSTON...ROBERTSON AND ESPECIALLY MONTGOMERY AND STEWART

INCH OF SNOW...WITH MOST EVERYONE ELSE SEEING A DUSTING TO ONE
QUARTER OF AN INCH. LOCATIONS CLOSEST TO ALABAMA WILL LIKELY SEE
NO SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AT ALL.

TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S BY DAYBREAK ON SUNDAY.
ELEVATED SURFACES ALONG WITH BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES COULD BECOME

EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW FREEZING...SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED BY EARLY
