Current Radar Loop 3:00 PM to 3:40 PM
Snow showers have already arrived to our northwest and continue to move towards us. We are still looking at 1″ to 2″ of total accumulation for those north of I-40 and less than an 1″ expected for those south of I-40.
Note: models are showing different things. Some show more ice and/or snow, while others do not. These are just very rough estimates.
Already this morning we have see plenty of rainfall. The freezing line is currently knocking on our doorstep, which will turn our rain showers into a wintry mix very shortly. Expect for the wintry mix to arrive in the next hour or two.
First let me acknowledge and thank our Intern, Brendan Schaper, for his help with this update.
We remain under a Winter Weather Advisory, beginning Friday at 8 AM, ending midnight Friday night.
Rain will transition to freezing rain and sleet in the morning, then to snow late morning or early afternoon. Ice accumulation of one to two tenths of an inch will occur along with the possibility for 1-2 inches of snow.
Updated: We are under a Winter Weather Advisory, beginning Friday at 8 AM, ending at MIDNIGHT Friday night.

Consult multiple, reliable sources of weather information.
“Friday snow” will be hard to believe Thursday afternoon when it starts raining off and on and we are in the mid 60°s. Rain will be heavy at times, and last into Friday morning. Sometime Friday, rain should transition to sleet and/or freezing rain, and eventually snow.
This morning, we are dry. Cloudy, but dry. A strengthening south wind (gusting to ~20 mph at times) will continue to pump in moisture, keeping us under overcast skies. Temperatures this afternoon make up for the gloomy conditions, rising into the lower 60s. Any leftover decorations left out or a car that needs to be washed? Probably a better day than any to wrap those tasks up.
I know crap apps train us to see clipart snowflakes and nebulous percentages and draw conclusions; you're better served by reading discussions, understanding nuance, possibility, and ranges, and not blowing past important qualifiers like "right now" the forecast "could be" etc. pic.twitter.com/WLNVfETind
Wednesday will be a close repeat of today, with (potentially dense) fog early. The main difference? Temperatures reaching the lower 60s during the afternoon…a great treat!

Wet weather will come to an end later this afternoon, just in time for the evening rush hour. Temperatures will be unseasonably cool in the 40s, dropping into the upper 30s overnight.
Our two counties, Davidson County and Williamson County, remain excluded from the Winter Weather Advisory.
We expect a cold rain, but we also don’t want to completely discount winter weather impacts tonight, overnight, or in the morning.
