I always say "March Madness" isn't as much about college basketball as it is the unpredictability of late winter-early spring storm systems. The bulk of the incoming snow misses us to the north this go 'round, thankfully. Temperatures tonight will drop nicely to and slightly below freezing for some tonight and stay in the 30s for most of us in ACA Wednesday.
At this writing, there is no Winter Weather Advisory which carries with it some certainty. We in ACA simply have a Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO) that speaks (to a chance) of up to an inch of snow, mainly above 3500 feet, with 2-3 inches in the High Country and along the TN border. It's not in one little time period; rather, it's a northwest-flow event that comes and goes insofar as precipitation into Thursday. At least we're going into this with warm ground temps, so a lot of road melting will take place. Just remember that "Slush" is "Ice's" first cousin, should that accumulate some.
There will be yet another minor shot of light snow Friday night into Saturday morning. None of these aforementioned disturbances carry much weight, but they are there, nonetheless. Monday looked like a decent shot for snow until today's latest model runs, which turn down the precip chances and tweak the temps up a tad. Too early to call that one, so will let it sit for now.
All that to say cold returns to make sure we don't forget what time of year this is.
