...a winter storm will affect the region this weekend into early
next week...
A strong low pressure system is expected to track across the great
lakes region this weekend. Rain will spread across the southern
appalachians beginning saturday. A surge of cold air behind a cold
front is expected to change the precipitation to snow late saturday
night and sunday morning. A persistent flow of cold air from the
northwest will keep snow showers going for much of the area through
sunday night...and for the higher elevations through monday.
The exact track of the low pressure remains uncertain...which will
greatly impact snowfall amounts. Significant snow accumulations
will be possible across the smoky mountains...the mountains of
northeast tennessee...and the higher elevations of southwest
virginia. Strong winds in the higher elevations may lead to blowing
and drifting snow...and very cold wind chill values. Some snow is
expected to accumulate in the tennessee valley and cumberland
plateau...with amounts from a dusting to several inches possible.
Listen to noaa weather radio or your local media for the latest
updates on this situation.

If I am not mistaken, wasn't the forecast last year the same during the big snow??
I hope it hammers us!

I don't mind the snow. Just leave me my electricity!!!!
Still way too much uncertainty with so many inconsistent model runs to say much about this storm. The only things looking likely would be another very cold airmass dropping down in behind this system and the potential for another good upslope snow event to set up Sunday into Monday and on as it the low passes to the east, probably similar to early this week. Higher elevations probably going to get a good snow, differences in storm track impacting amounts for everyone greatly though overall.
