...Arctic Outbreak of Frigid Air and Light Snow Accumulations
Late This Weekend and Early Next Week...

An arctic cold front will move across the Tennessee valley and
southern Appalachians on Sunday ushering in frigid air into the
region. Snow showers and flurries can be expected with the arctic
frontal passage with light snow accumulations anticipated. The
heaviest snowfall up to 4 inches are expected across the far east
Tennessee mountains.

Snow and ice covered roadways, especially secondary roads and
higher elevations, will result in slick, hazardous travel.

The main concern will be the frigid temperatures with wind chills
dropping as low as 10 to 15 degrees below zero over the far east
Tennessee mountains Sunday night. Across the lower elevations,
wind chills will drop to near zero Sunday night and 5 to 10
degrees above zero for Monday night.

Be prepared for the frigid and wintry conditions. Dress in loose
layers and cover all exposed skin when venturing outside. Limit
time outdoors if possible. Remember to check on family, friends,
and neighbors.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for
further details or updates.
