Tonight: More snow is expected tonight, especially for the eastern half of the Valley and Smoky Mountains. Totals could be 1-4 inches in the Central Valley, 3-4 inches in the Northern Valley and 6-8 inches in the foothills and Mountains. There will be a sharp gradient between areas that see the heavier snow and areas that see only light accumulations. Much lighter totals are expected in the western Valley and on the Plateau. It’s also going to be COLD tonight! Lows will fall into the teens across the area with wind chills in the single digits in the Valley. Wind chills could be as low as -5 to -10 degrees in the higher elevations. Winds will be out of the north at 5-10 mph.
Saturday: Snow will come to an end early with a few lingering snow showers possible in the mountains. Temperatures will remain cold with highs only reaching the lower to middle 20s despite the clearing skies. Northerly winds at 5-10 mph will keep wind chills in the single digits and teens all day so layer up and accessorize if you need to be outside! Overnight lows Saturday night into Sunday morning will be in the single digits across the entire area… the coldest night we’ve seen in almost 2 years!
Sunday/Next week: Highs will be around 30 degrees Sunday afternoon and back down into the single digits and teens Sunday night into Monday morning. A quick warming trend will bring highs back into the lower 50s by midweek. Our next chance of rain arrives late Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Have a great weekend... stay warm!!
