• A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect midnight Friday night thru 6p Sunday night
• Travel will become hazardous starting late Friday night into early Saturday morning, worsening throughout the weekend
• Power outages and tree damage cannot be ruled out if some higher freezing rain totals occur
• Brutal cold to follow our winter storm, with lows near 0° early next week

It’s become increasingly likely that we see a mix of all frozen precipitation: snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Models have been fairly consistent on thinking that we will deal with more freezing rain/sleet than snow, although we’ll probably see some of it all. read more

At least twice on the briefing from the brilliant minds at NWS Nashville, I heard something along the lines of “this is a very difficult forecast.” I think that should speak for itself – prepare yourself to embrace uncertainty. You will not come away from this blog knowing exactly what is going to happen, but you will be more prepared. read more

What We Know:

• Confidence is increasing that we see impactful winter weather this weekend

Before we get into what you all clicked on this blog for, I do want to briefly address the cold[er than normal] temperatures this week. Lows tonight will bottom out near 14°, and we’ll see similar lows this weekend. Prepare to protect any exposed pipes, bring in the pets, all the cold weather things. read more

If you hear about any snow chances tonight, we are excluded. It’ll be a Plateau Exclusive event tonight – per usual.

Rain moves in around dinner time (5 or 6p) and stays rain the entire time. In the off chance some flurries mix in towards the very end, they wouldn’t stick – models keep us several degrees above freezing the entire time. read more

This morning, the Plateau is doing Plateau things – squeezing out some snow showers. For us? Nothing, except maybe a stray flurry or two. Certainly, no impacts.

Next chance of precipitation will be Friday afternoon/evening as we get another clipper system that swings thru. read more

Temperatures generally around average for this time of year. Tuesday and Thursday being the exceptions, with one day having above-average temperatures, and the other having below average.

A cold front will move thru Sunday morning, marking the beginning of our colder temperatures. The also means some gusts around 20 mph will be common throughout the day tomorrow. read more

We no longer are outlooked for any severe weather probabilities for today. The question of “will any CAPE (storm fuel) show up?” has been answered – and the answer is no.

We’ll be dry thru this early evening – likely we’ll see some decent sun as well as we try and tie the daily record high of 71° today. read more
