...CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AND VERY COLD AIR TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PASS TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA TODAY...AND SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. A MUCH STRONGER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT...THURSDAY...AND THURSDAY NIGHT. VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND AN UPSLOPE WIND WILL RESULT IN A GOOD CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS. EXACT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME...BUT ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD AVERAGE LESS THAN 4 INCHES OVER SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND THE MOUNTAINS. THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONGER SNOW BURSTS TO PRODUCE ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS...EXPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. LOCATIONS IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND CUMBERLAND PLATEAU MAY SEE A DUSTING TO AN INCH.

IN ADDITION...LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE TEENS TO THE SINGLE DIGITS THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS...AND WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST AT 20 TO 30 MPH. WITH THESE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND STRONG WINDS...WIND CHILL VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW ZERO IN THE MOUNTAINS ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

yeah i think it's a 50% chance for tomorrow or something

Doubt it will do anything tonight. Tomorrow day I don't think it will do too much, either. A 50% chance is pretty good, but usually the percentage is not overly accurate.

Tomorrow evening and night, however, I have a feeling we may get 1-2 inches of snow, but it varies so much from day to day you never really know what's going to happen.
