...WINTRY MIX ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE THIS WEEKEND...

A WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE TOMORROW AFFECTING MAINLY
AREAS OVER NORTHWESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE. HOWEVER LOCATIONS ALL
ALONG THE I-65 CORRIDOR INCLUDING THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA WILL
STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE A WINTRY MIX MAINLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AND AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT.

A COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT MIDDLE TENNESSEE TODAY AND TOMORROW,
BRINGING WITH IT AMPLE RAINFALL. WITH AN ARCTIC AIR MASS USHERING
IN SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT ON FRIDAY, ANY RAIN
COULD CHANGE OVER TO A WINTRY MIX FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH RAIN WOULD CHANGE OVER TO A FREEZING
RAIN OR SLEET MIX IN THE METRO NASHVILLE AREA AND NORTHERN I-65
CORRIDOR AFTER 6 PM FRIDAY. LIGHT ICE OR SLEET ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL MIDDLE TENNESSEE AFTER THE
CHANGEOVER OCCURS. LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ON TREES AND
POWER LINES, OR SLEET ACCUMULATIONS ON ROADWAYS COULD CAUSE POWER
OUTAGES AS WELL AS HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT.

ANOTHER EPISODE OF MAINLY FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED ACROSS A LARGE
PART OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
RAIN WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH, AND WITH SUB-
FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN PLACE AT PRECIPITATION ONSET, LIGHT ICE
ACCUMULATIONS COULD OCCUR ON TREES AND POWER LINES. THE BEST
CHANCE WILL BE ROUGHLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40, ESPECIALLY HIGHER
TERRAIN AREAS. ANY ACCUMULATIONS THOUGH WOULD LIKELY MELT
THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON SUNDAY AS TEMPERATURES RISE ABOVE FREEZING
AND A HEAVY, YET COLD RAIN TAKES OVER.

IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT AREAS THAT GET FREEZING RAIN THIS
WEEKEND COULD END UP WITH DAMAGE TO TREES AND POWER LINES,
ESPECIALLY IN PLACES THAT SEE THE FREEZING RAIN TWO NIGHTS IN A
ROW.

ANYONE PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE MID STATE THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND
SHOULD REMAIN ALERT TO ANY CHANGES IN THE FORECAST.
