NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Winter Storm Warning is in effect tonight through Wednesday morning for counties generally along the Interstate 40 corridor and northward. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for our counties below I-40. Accumulating snow is expected for all, with heaviest totals north and northwest, and lower totals south toward the Tennessee and Alabama state line.
Snow is already arriving to our western zones. It will become widespread overnight and move out by mid-morning Wednesday.
As far as snow amounts go, 2 to 4 inches of snow are expected across Nashville and much of the north half of Middle Tennessee. 4 to 6 inches are likely for Clarksville and most of Southern KY. Our southern counties will see a coating to 2 inches of snow. The least amount will fall along the Tennessee/Alabama state line.
This snowfall will likely affect travel starting Tuesday night. Also, temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing through Saturday morning, so the snow will stick around for several days and continue to impact the roads.
Then, behind the snow dangerous cold arrives. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for all of Middle TN and Southern KY starting late Wednesday night through 10 a.m. Thursday. Wind chill values will be below zero Thursday morning!
We could be near record lows on both Thursday and Friday morning. Remember the 4 P's: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants!
