Rain, heavy at times, moves in this afternoon and evening, along with increasingly strong winds. This system is a freight train of cold temperatures, the coldest so far this winter...luckily, the cold only barely catches up to the northwest moisture flow Sunday morning that will bring us a tad bit of snow via NW flow snow showers.
Insofar as snow amounts, everything points to less than an inch, and most 1/2" or less. 2-4" may collect above 5000 feet on the TN border, but ACA should see only light accumulations. However, look back earlier this week and see how slippery just a light coating can be on Apple Creek Road. What falls and sticks will go nowhere for a couple of days.
Temperatures will be falling through the day Sunday, and flash freezing may be a concern where liquid won't get a chance to evaporate first. The winds will howl Sunday with bitter wind chill temperatures. Lows Monday morning will be in the low teens for a lot of us, unless the winds back off (then they may hit upper single digits).
Too, late Wednesday into Thursday may well be another chance of snow, but it looks limited at this time. More on that early next week.
