...A DEVELOPING WINTER WEATHER EVENT ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH ICE ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE...

AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE THURSDAY NIGHT
AFTER MIDNIGHT AND MOVES ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID STATE DURING THE MORNING
HOURS ON FRIDAY...MOISTURE WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA...AND WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR THE GROUND EXPECTED TO REMAIN CLOSE TO OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW FREEZING THROUGH THE NIGHTIME HOURS...A COLD RAIN...FREEZING RAIN...
AND SLEET MIXTURE THAT WILL INITIALLY DEVELOP ACROSS AREAS WEST OF THE
NASHVILLE METROPOLITIAN AREA...APPROACHING THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY
REGION JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT...WILL BECOME A FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MIXTURE
ACROSS LOCATIONS GENERALLY EAST OF INTERSTATE 24 AND EAST OF INTERSTATE
65...WITH SOME SNOW MIXED IN ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CUMBERLAND
PLATEAU REGION. A CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR LOCATIONS
GENERALLY WEST OF THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION BY THE MID MORNING HOURS AS
TEMPERATURES CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING. HOWEVER...FOR LOCATIONS ACROSS THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION...A FREEZING RAIN AND/OR SLEET MIX COULD POSSIBLY
CONTINUE UNTIL EARLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO REMAIN
AROUND THE FREEZING MARK...BEFORE EVENTUALLY CHANGING OVER TO ALL RAIN
DURING THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THIS PORTION OF THE MID STATE TOO.

AS A RESULT...ICE ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON FRIDAY...STARTING ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY REGION...AND THEN SPREADING EASTWARD...POTENTIALLY
THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION.
SINCE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN COLD OVER THE RECENT DAYS...GLAZING OF ICE ON
ROADS WILL BE LIKELY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. IF ACCUMULATING
ICE OCCURS...CAUTION WILL NEED TO BE EXERCISED ON AREA ROADWAYS ACROSS
THE MID STATE AND TRAVEL AVOIDED IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.

AS ADDITIONAL WEATHER FORECAST INFORMATION IS GATHERED ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL
WINTER WEATHER EVENT...AN WINTER WEATHER WATCH...ADVISORY...OR EVEN WARNING
MAY BE ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE LATER...ESPECIALLY FOR THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU REGION.
