...BIG CHANGES IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE WEATHER ARE EXPECTED BY THE END
OF THE WEEK...

A WARMING TREND WILL SEND TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 50S TO
MIDDLE 60S TODAY...AND INTO THE LOWER 70S IN SOME AREAS BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR NASHVILLE
TOMORROW IS 71 DEGREES. HOWEVER...THESE PLEASANTLY MILD
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO LAST LONG.

ON THURSDAY...YOU CAN EXPECT A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT TO PUSH
ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO INTERACT WITH A
MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW OF AIR IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE AND PRODUCE AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF RAINFALL...SOME OF WHICH WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY.
RAINFALL TOTALS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED BE
BETWEEN TWO AND THREE INCHES OVER MOST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

AS ARCTIC AIR PUSHES DEEPER INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE THIS WEEK
...YOU CAN EXPECT A WINTRY MIX TO DEVELOP. TEMPERATURES WILL
TUMBLE AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES...AND BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL
REACH THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 30S OVER ABOUT THE NORTHWEST HALF OF
THE AREA. RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO A MIX OF SNOW AND SLEET
FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN AREAS NORTH AND WEST OF NASHVILLE...AND CHANGE
OVER TO SNOW AND SLEET IN THE NASHVILLE AREA EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT.
IT IS LOOKING INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT AN ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL
OCCUR OVER AT LEAST THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE MID STATE FRIDAY NIGHT
...BEFORE PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF EARLY SATURDAY.

RIGHT NOW...IT LOOKS LIKE MAINLY A MIX OF RAIN AND SLEET FOR
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE MID STATE. HOWEVER...IF THE COLD
AIR PUSHES DEEPER ACROSS TENNESSEE THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED...
ACCUMULATING SNOW COULD OCCUR OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES
AS WELL. AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND, COMPUTER MODELS SHOULD
HELP METEOROLOGISTS DETERMINE IF ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WILL BE
NEEDED. FOR THIS REASON...YOU ARE ADVISED TO REMAIN ALERT TO YOUR
LOCAL FORECAST AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES TO KNOW HOW BEST TO PREPARE FOR
THIS UPCOMING WINTER WEATHER EVENT.

ANOTHER EPISODE OF WINTRY WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR SATURDAY NIGHT
AND EARLY SUNDAY...WITH FREEZING RAIN EXPECTED TO BE ONE OF THE
MAIN PROBLEMS.
