...WINTRY PRECIP LIKELY FOR NORTHERN AND WESTERN MIDDLE TN ON
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS MIDDLE TN THIS MORNING. MUCH
COLDER AIR WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE
COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.
MEANWHILE...THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE JET STREAM IS EXPECTED TO
BECOME QUITE ACTIVE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. AS THE COLD FRONT
STALLS TO OUR SOUTH...MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO OVERRUN THE COLDER
AIR AT THE SURFACE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

AS WE MOVE INTO THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...THE STAGE WILL BE SET
FOR A MIXTURE OF SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS ROUGHLY THE
NORTHWESTERN HALF OF MIDDLE TN. AT THIS POINT IN TIME...AREAS
INCLUDING CLARKSVILLE...ERIN AND DOVER...WILL SEE THE
PRECIPITATION FALL AS MAINLY SNOW AND SLEET. FURTHER
SOUTHEAST...ACROSS THE CENTERVILLE...NASHVILLE...LAFAYETTE...JAMESTOWN
AND MURFREESBORO AREAS...A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN
APPEARS LIKELY. ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MIDDLE TN AND THE SOUTHERN
PLATEAU...A RAIN SLEET MIX WITH TEMPERATURES JUST ABOVE FREEZING
SHOULD PREVAIL.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME...ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW SLEET AND ICE ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE MID STATE INCLUDING
THE NORTHERN PLATEAU ON THURSDAY AND INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. WE ARE
STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THIS DEVELOPING WINTER SITUATION SO
ACCUMULATION AMOUNTS REMAIN SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. HOWEVER...IT DOES
APPEAR THAT 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN AREAS....WITH LESS THAN 1 INCH OF SLEET AND ICE
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN MIDDLE TN.

CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE ON FRIDAY AS WARMER TEMPS AND THEN A
CHANCE OF RAIN PREVAILS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE UPDATES...WATCHES...WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES
PERTAINING TO THIS DEVELOPING WINTER WEATHER THREAT.
