‘Heaviest snowfall in over a decade’: Winter storm impacting millions
A significant winter storm is delivering frigid temperatures, rain, and snow to more than 60 million residents of the U.S.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm alert for Friday in anticipation of an “impactful snow” event that is likely to cover Middle Tennessee and create considerable travel disruptions.
The weather authority issues winter storm alerts when there is a probability of heavy snowfall or noteworthy ice build-up; the alert is valid from Friday morning until late Friday night.
Wednesday night is predicted to be the coldest night in the forecast, with temperatures dropping into the teens and a 10-30% likelihood of single-digit readings in the Cumberland Plateau area.
Snow is expected to enter the Middle Tennessee area on Friday morning and persist into early Saturday, according to the weather service. The most intense snowfall is anticipated from late morning through early evening, with significant travel challenges expected, such as icy and snow-packed roads.
Travel is discouraged on Friday.
What is the expected snowfall for Nashville on Friday?
The current forecast predicts between four and seven inches of snow across the Middle Tennessee area, though there is a 30-50% chance that certain regions may receive more than seven inches, states the weather authority.
Nashville is forecasted to receive approximately four inches of snow on Friday, while neighboring locations like Clarksville, Lafayette, and Columbia could see up to six inches.
The weather service anticipates that the initial snowfall will be wetter and heavier, but it will transform into a lighter and fluffier snow as cooler air moves in from above in the late afternoon and evening.
Calmer weather sets in Saturday, but snow complications are expected to linger
Snow is projected to exit Friday evening and continue into early Saturday; however, travel consequences will persist, warns the weather authority. Saturday night will be extremely chilly with temperatures dropping into the teens, and generally dry conditions will extend into the following week.
Highs are projected to surpass freezing every day post-Saturday while temperatures may fall below freezing at night, the weather service added. Difficulties with melting snow and re-freezing during the night are likely to create problems with the snow early next week.
