In addition to the snowfall, breezy winds will accompany the cold temperatures late tonight through Monday night, leading to wind chill values around or slightly below zero in the mountains.
Storm total snowfall amounts in excess of 12 inches are possible at or above 5,000 feet in elevation in the Smokies, with 4-8 inches elsewhere in the Smokies.
