...A MIXED BAG OF WEATHER HEADED FOR THE MID STATE...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS THIS MORNING WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD TENNESSEE TODAY...RAIN WILL
SPREAD AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. RAINFALL WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AS THE LOW GETS
CLOSER TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE
WITH THIS SYSTEM TONIGHT. WE ARE EXPECTING A TOTAL OF ONE TO TWO
INCHES OF RAINFALL THAT WILL BEGIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. HIGHEST AMOUNTS WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
HALF OF THE MID STATE.

THE SYSTEM MAY ALSO GENERATE ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE AREA...SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 TONIGHT. THE GREATEST THREAT
FROM SEVERE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

GIVEN THE INTENSITY OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THE STORM WILL ALSO
GENERATE STRONG WINDS OVER THE AREA TONIGHT AND ON WEDNESDAY.
EXPECT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 35 MPH.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL POUR INTO THE REGION BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT
IN THE NORTHWEST AND SPREAD EAST DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL
SLOWLY CHANGE THE PRECIPITATION FROM RAIN TO SNOW. FORTUNATELY THE
LOW WILL TRACK RIGHT ACROSS THE AREA AND PULL OUT OF THE AREA IN
THE AFTERNOON ON WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
SNOWFALL TO AROUND ONE INCH OR LESS.

SNOWFALL TRIVIA FOR NASHVILLE:

SNOWIEST DECEMBER WAS IN 1963 WHEN 13.2 INCHES FELL.

THE LAST TIME SNOW FELL IN NASHVILLE WAS ON FEBRUARY 19TH WHEN
0.2 INCH WAS MEASURED.
