..WINTER WEATHER TO EFFECT THE REGION LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM THE MIDWEST
TONIGHT TO THE EAST COAST ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE TRAILING COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION...AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL INTERACT WITH THE FRONT TO PRODUCE PRECIPITATION
ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY LATE TONIGHT THOUGH TUESDAY EVENING. SNOW
SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP TOWARD DAWN...POSSIBLY AFFECTING THE MORNING
COMMUTE. THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS ON TUESDAY...WITH SNOW SHOWERS BECOMING MORE INTERMITTENT IN
THE AFTERNOON.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO FALL
PRIMARILY AS SNOW...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF A SOMERSET TO WILLIAMSBURG
LINE. AREAS SOUTH OF THIS LINE MAY SEE THE SNOW MIX WITH RAIN.
SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR FREEZING THROUGHOUT THIS EVENT IN
MOST AREAS...AND THE GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE STILL WARM DUE TO RECENT
WARM WEATHER...AND THESE FACTORS WILL LIMIT ACTUAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT TOTAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS BY TUESDAY EVENING WILL RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO AN
INCH...WITH THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS ON THE RIDGETOPS.

A FEW ROADS...ESPECIALLY CROSSING THE RIDGETOPS...COULD BECOME SNOW

[Ron_Jarrell]

Ahh West Liberty... that's where I'll be after my interview Friday through Sunday!

[Snowman]

Nashville NWS service is calling for Less then an inch for the plateau. Never know with clipper systems. Back in start of this winter, late fall, I believe it was a clipper system not expecting to do much that put down a quick coat of snow across the plateau even down to Grundy county which actually closed schools. I think ground temperatures are just too warm for even a dusting anywhere in Middle Tennessee, Plateau included but we will see.

[Snowman]

This is what is headed our way but dont expect anything like this, just a tease.  :lol:

Ground was white in Cookvegas when I left for work this morning....however, by the time I got to Buffalo Valley it wasn't even raining and the temps had gone up to over 40* (it was 33* in Cookeville when I left).

[Coach B]

Friends in both Crossville and Oneida have reported heavy snow showers and some quick accums.  I'm very surprised Nashville and Knoxville have not placed the upper Cumberland Plat in a Snow Advisory.

[servocrow]

Yeah Coach B, I could only find a Snow Advisory out of the Morristown office:

[servocrow]

That one does cover Oneida, but not Crossville...

[Thundersnow]

As usual, the "Plateau" has all the fun.

Hopefully, we'll ALL get in on the action some time next week.  

[joemomma]

Well, I didn't get to actually have any fun with it....schools let out as I was pulling out of the driveway to head to work with heavy, wet snow still coming down.
If this system next week materializes, maybe I'll be able to get snowed or iced in!

[HMMWV]

Ahhh, "snowed in" has such a nice ring to it.

What I wouldn't give to be SNOWED :snowwink  IN!

.... wanders off daydreaming about LARGE amounts of the white  :snowwink variety...

[Thundersnow]

I don't know what else is in store for the Cumberland Plateau, but I'm seeing a gusty shower here in Nashville right now.   :shock:

That's a little unexpected.  But, I haven't really been paying attention to this system.  All my attention has been on next week.  :lol:

[servocrow]

There's more light precip coming down from KY  :!! , but I'm afraid it is too warm for US..

Well, I guess we'll just dream of next week..tee hee...

At one point this am Crossville was reporting 1/4 mile visability in a heavy snowshower.  That's coming down pretty good.
