The Latest Thinking for the Tennessee Valley

| December 26, 2017 @ 9:32 pm

The NWS in Huntsville is not issuing any advisories for their counties in the Tennessee Valley since there is no confidence in accumulations and impacts.

According to them, the narrow area will be along the southern portion of their forecast area, but all south of the Tennessee River. This graphic explains their thinking.

Here is the text of their Special Weather Statement:

…Light Wintry Precipitation Possible South of the Tennessee River
After Midnight…

A weak disturbance will bring light precipitation to southern
portions of the Tennessee Valley late tonight into early Wednesday
morning. Surface temperatures at or just below freezing could support
some very light accumulations of sleet, ice, or snow. A few
localized slick spots may develop around daybreak, primarily bridges
and overpasses, and elevated surfaces. Use caution in these areas
late tonight into the Wednesday morning commute. Slow down and allow
extra time to reach your destination.
