WINTER STORM WARNING 11AM - 10PM THURSDAY FOR THE MOUNTAINS ...
... WINTER STORM WATCH 11AM - 10PM FOR THE VALLEY ...
Today: Showers are likely this morning, but then the rain will transition over to a heavy wet snow by this afternoon with some accumulations likely. Be prepared for possible hazardous wintry weather this afternoon and evening across East Tennessee!!
*Here's the setup: An area of low pressure will be pushing into the Carolina's from the Gulf of Mexico. Abundant moisture and lift is associated with this system, not to mention a great track for winter weather for East Tennessee into North Carolina as long as colder air gets pulled into the back side. According to the recent models, there is about a 3-6 hour window for snow to develop, from Noon to 6pm. If this were to happen, it will be quick bursts of wet, heavy snow. There will also be a very rapid transition from light accumulations to deeper snow from west to east. Below freezing temperatures are expected early Friday morning, so icing could be of concern for the morning rush.
