Major travel impacts expected on Friday as a Winter Storm moves in
A First Alert Weather Day continues for Friday as significant travel impacts are expected with an incoming winter storm
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - We continue to track a winter storm that has its sights on the Midstate for Friday and Friday evening.
Arctic air hangs around today and tomorrow with temperatures in the lower to mid-30s for highs, and overnight lows in the 20s and teens. Make sure that you stay bundled up. You may want to drip your pipes at night to avoid pipes bursting.
FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY - FRIDAY
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from Friday morning through Saturday morning as several inches of accumulating snow will impact Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.
Snow is expected to develop before sunrise along the Tennessee River and spread eastward across the Midstate through our morning commute. Snow will continue across the area for much of the day with most of the Midstate receiving 4-6″ of snowfall with locally higher amounts the farther south we go.
Portions of southern Middle Tennessee could push to the 5-7″ mark before all the snow wraps up overnight on Friday.
Travel is likely to be significantly impacted throughout the day on Friday and into early Saturday. If you must travel be sure to allow yourself plenty of extra time and take it slow on those snow-covered roadways. Flights in and out of the Nashville International Airport will likely be impacted as well throughout the day.
THIS WEEKEND
Impacts on roads will linger through Saturday so keep that in mind as you plan ahead. Saturday afternoon will be mostly cloudy with some leftover flurries and temperatures in the mid-30s.
Sunday will be slightly warmer with temperatures in the upper 30s and a little afternoon sunshine. As snow melts during the day we could see refreezing overnight with lows in the 20s and teens once again.
NEXT WEEK
Temperatures Monday and Tuesday will be near 40 degrees in the afternoon. A mix of sunshine and clouds is expected for each day.
