A strong cold front moved through the area Friday night with gusty winds causing downed trees and power outages
We had a peak wind gust of 60 mph at Look Rock and a 45 mph gust reported at McGhee Tyson Airport.
Then we had A LOT of snow across the area...
The McGhee Tyson Airport officially received 6.5" of snow, more than we would typically have in an entire season!
Our season snow total is now 10.7", the most since the 2013-2014 cold weather season.
Temperatures stayed below freezing through the afternoon with northwesterly winds making it feel like the teens... Now, record-breaking lows are possible tonight.
With clear skies, light winds, Arctic air and plenty of snow still on the ground, lows will fall into the single digits and low teens.
These temperatures will likely damage or kill sensitive plants. Cover and/or protect them if you can!
Bring in your pets, use safe heating sources and watch out for black ice on area roads.
Be safe tonight and Sunday morning!
