Arctic Outbreak of Frigid Air and Light Snow Accumulations Late This Weekend and Early Next Week…
An arctic cold front will move across the Tennessee valley and southern Appalachians on Sunday ushering in frigid air into the region. Snow showers and flurries can be expected with the arctic frontal passage with light snow accumulations anticipated. The heaviest snowfall up to 4 inches are expected across the far east
Tennessee mountains.
Snow and ice covered roadways, especially secondary roads and higher elevations, will result in slick, hazardous travel.
The main concern will be the frigid temperatures with wind chills dropping as low as 10 to 15 degrees below zero over the far east Tennessee mountains Sunday night. Across the lower elevations, wind chills will drop to near zero Sunday night and 5 to 10 degrees above zero for Monday night.
Be prepared for the frigid and wintry conditions. Dress in loose layers and cover all exposed skin when venturing outside. Limit time outdoors if possible. Remember to check on family, friends, and neighbors.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for further details or updates.
