...HEAVY RAIN TODAY WITH POSSIBLE SNOW LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY
MORNING...

A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTH THIS
MORNING...WITH A BROAD AREA OF RAIN REACHING INTO THE WESTERN
AREAS OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE AT MID MORNING. THE RAIN AREA WILL
CONTINUE TO ADVANCE EASTWARD THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO THE
AFTERNOON. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHWEST...ROUGHLY
WEST OF A LINE FROM SPRINGFIELD...TO DICKSON...TO LINDEN.
ELSEWHERE IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE ABOUT AN INCH CAN BE EXPECTED...WITH
A FEW LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.

THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO TRACK THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...AND THEN INTO EASTERN
KENTUCKY BY MIDNIGHT. AS THIS SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH THE AREA...THE
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST...USHERING IN MUCH COLDER AIR.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING QUICKLY OVERNIGHT...AND INTO THE
UPPER 20S TO AROUND FREEZING IN MANY AREAS...BY SUNDAY MORNING. AS
A RESULT OF THE MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES...THE RAIN WILL CHANGE TO
SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...AND CONTINUE THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING IN MOST AREAS...AND TAPERING OFF INTO THE
AFTERNOON ON THE PLATEAU. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COUNTIES ALONG THE
KENTUCKY BORDER COULD GET ONE HALF TO AROUND ONE INCH OF SNOW
ACCUMULATION...WITH AREAS ALONG AND ADJACENT TO INTERSTATE
40...GETTING FROM A DUSTING UP TO ONE HALF INCH. EASTERN AREAS OF
MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND ALONG THE PLATEAU COULD GET UP TO AROUND ONE
INCH OF SNOW ACCUMULATION.

THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO END ON THE PLATEAU BY EARLY SUNDAY EVENING...
WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 20 TO 25 DEGREE RANGE ACROSS ALL
OF MIDDLE TENNESSE SUNDAY NIGHT.

WIND CHILLS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE
TEENS...SO BUNDLE UP.
