THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

A WINTER STORM IS STILL FORECAST FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE
THIS WEEK...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT SNOW
AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM WEST TEXAS
THURSDAY EASTWARD INTO NORTH LOUISIANA ON FRIDAY MORNING...
AND THEN INTO COASTAL PLAINS OF GEORGIA BY SATURDAY MORNING.
THIS SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE FOR AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE POTENTIAL
ACROSS THE MID STATE...ALONG WITH PULLING IN COLDER AIR FROM
THE NORTH ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTER
EXPECTED TO BE POSITIONED ACROSS THE MIDWEST.

THE TIME OF GREATEST IMPACT WILL BE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...AND THIS IS HOW THINGS COULD POSSIBLY UNFOLD...

...FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...CHANGE FROM RAIN TO SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE MID STATE DURING THE EVENING HOURS...GENERALLY ALONG
AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40...WITH A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET...AND
FREEZING RAIN SOUTH OF THIS AREA. SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE
POSSIBLE.

...FOR FRIDAY...SNOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH SNOW
SPREADING TOWARD THE TENNESSEE/ALABAMA BORDER DURING THE DAY.
...AS TEMPERATURES GENERALLY REMAIN AT OR BELOW FREEZING.
LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE NOT EXPERIENCING
SNOWFALL DUE TO TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 30S...WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPERIENCE A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET...AND FREEZING RAIN. SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW AND ICE ARE PROBABLE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS ON FRIDAY.

...FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...MUCH COLDER AIR SPREADS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
MID STATE...WITH LOWS EXPECTED IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S
...RESULTING IN SNOWFALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID STATE. ADDITIONAL
SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE.

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THEREFORE...IT IS DIFFICULT STILL TO
PROVIDE A RELIABLE FORECAST OF TOTAL SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS
PRESENTLY. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF
SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION EVENT OCCURRING OVER A LARGE
PART...IF NOT ALL...OF THE MID STATE BY THE TIME PRECIPITATION
TAPERS OFF LATE FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS MOST OF THE MID STATE.

HOWEVER...A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE MID STATE...INCLUDING THE NORTHERN
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION...THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY...WHICH
COULD PROVIDE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL MINOR ACCUMULATIONS ON TOP OF
SNOWFALL THAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN...AS TEMPERATURES ACROSS THAT
REGION WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE ENCOURAGED
TO REPORT ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
IN NASHVILLE.
