Well…it’s snowing.
As expected, snow has quickly accumulated across the area and road conditions are quickly deteriorating. If you don’t have to get out, please don’t. If you must get out, please, take it slow, leave plenty of room, and *clean the snow off the top of your car*. Snow on top of vehicles can become aerodynamic ice missiles, and you do not want that flying thru a windshield.
Our Winter Storm Watch has been upped to a Winter Storm Warning, valid from 6pm tonight thru 6am Tuesday. Although our impacts will last beyond Tuesday AM.
Our most likely snowfall totals remain around 3 – 4″. This is still subject to change, higher or lower.
Overnight tonight a cold front will swing thru, bringing in our very cold air. Along the front, there could be some flurries. Areas north of I-40 could see a dusting, no major impacts expected.
Both of our counties are under a Winter Storm Watch from Sunday evening thru Tuesday morning. This will likely be changed to a Winter Storm Warning later tonight or tomorrow.
A majority of the rain has moved out. Can’t rule out a few scattered showers this afternoon/evening, but our severe threat is over.
We still have a Wind Advisory thru midnight tonight, wind gusts up to 45 – 55 mph will be possible.
Enjoy the rest of this nice day today, our weather will change rather quickly tomorrow.
Yet another Wind Advisory has been issued for us from 6 am Friday thru midnight Friday.
Sustained winds from the SW at 25 – 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph are expected. The graph above from NWS Nashville shows our odds of wind gusts 50+ mph at 60-70%.
A busy forecast coming up for us.
The rest of today and Thursday will be calm. Thursday + Friday we’ll even be 5-10 degrees above average. Enjoy this, it will not last long.
Friday things change.
Lots to talk about before we dive into the wintry weather potential.
We still have a Wind Advisory to deal with until 6am Wednesday morning.
Wind gusts up to 40 – 45 mph are possible overnight. Could wake you up, but no need for concern.
The graphic above from NWS Nashville sums up our Wind Advisory that goes thru 6pm tonight thru midnight Tuesday night. Not a bad idea to charge your phones in case a tree branch decides to land on a powerline, secure all outdoor furniture.
There’s a lot to break down. Let’s do it.
When? 6pm Monday – 6pm Tuesday
What? Sustained winds from 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 35 – 45 mph will be possible
Winds could blow around unsecured objects; tree limbs could also get blown down and cause a few power outages.
Some light showers moving thru this evening, these should not last long, and should be outta here in the next couple of hours.
We’ll be dry for Sunday, but high temps will only make it up into the mid 40s, bundle up if venturing out to the Titans game.
