...Rain Changing to Snow Showers This Evening...

A cold front will move across east Tennessee, southwest Virginia,
and southwest North Carolina late this afternoon and evening
bringing with it widespread precipitation and colder
temperatures. A band of rain will move into the region then mix
with and change over to snow showers during the evening.

A brief period of accumulating snow is possible tonight before
the main precipitation band exits across the Plateau and southwest
Virginia, as well as portions of the northern and central valley
in east Tennessee. In addition, a few snow showers and flurries
will linger across these areas into Thursday morning. Snowfall of
a dusting to 1/2 inch will be possible in some areas, with up to
1 inch across the highest ridge tops. Lingering moisture on
roadways may also freeze in some spots later tonight, with patches
of ice possible.

Slick road conditions will be possible across portions of the
area this evening into early Thursday. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather
Radio and other local media for further details or updates.
