Middle Tennessee will experience a major winter storm on Friday, with significant snow accumulation and major travel impacts continuing into early Saturday.
Snow totals across the region are anticipated to be between three and six inches although higher accumulation is expected between Lawrenceburg and Clarksville, where snow totals are likely to reach eight inches.
Areas along the Tennessee-Alabama border will receive the lowest totals.
When will the snowfall peak? When will the snow stop?
While most areas will just experience snow, some southern counties are likely to receive a mix of sleet and rain along with snow, sometime between noon and 5 p.m., the weather service said.
Snow is expected to gradually decrease by Friday evening and most of it will move out of Middle Tennessee by midnight, said the weather service, although travel impacts will continue into Saturday.
Freezing temperatures to impact road conditions through the weekend
Sunday is expected to be warmer with highs in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
Temperatures will then plunge below freezing Sunday night, freezing over any snow that hasn’t melted and will likely cause some travel issues — especially on secondary untreated roads and walkways, said the weather service.
Another push of cold air into will move into the region on Tuesday. Beginning Tuesday night and through the end of the week, lows will fall into the teens with highs in the 30s.
