...LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...
MOISTURE MOVING NORTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL RUN INTO COLD AIR STREAMING DOWN FROM CANADA AND COLLIDE OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN AS LIGHT SNOW OVER EAST TENNESSEE AND SPREAD INTO SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN AS MOSTLY SNOW NORTH OF KNOXVILLE THURSDAY...BUT WILL LIKELY MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO RAIN AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF KNOXVILLE.
AT THIS TIME...OUR BEST ESTIMATE IS FOR AROUND 1 INCH IN THE KNOXVILLE AREA WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE TRI-CITIES. FOR SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF EAST TENNESSEE... SNOWFALL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME...WE FEEL THAT SOUTHEAST TENNESSEE WILL SEE LITTLE ACCUMULATIONS WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF MARION AND HAMILTON COUNTIES WHERE MONTEAGLE...LOOKOUT AND SIGNAL MOUNTAINS MAY SEE SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN.
STAY TUNED TO THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION FOR FURTHER UPDATES AND POSSIBLE WATCHES OR WARNINGS.
