NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – What could end up being our first chance at significant accumulating snow and/or ice for the Midstate this season is in sight. The time period we need to watch is Friday through Monday of next week.
Very cold weather will overtake the Midstate on Friday evening. At the same time, a storm system will attempt to develop and pass by to our south.
For now, know there’s a chance of snow and/or ice from Friday night through early Monday morning. We’re including that broad of a time window because of the timing inconsistency and discrepancy across computer models. It certainly won’t precipitate for that long.
Right now, it’s unclear how strong that storm system will become (if it’s able to form at all), how close to the Midstate it will pass, and exactly when in that time window this will be.
Given the potential for an impactful winter storm, take this time to prepare. Purchase an ice scraper, snowbrush, and/or snow shovel if you don’t have one already, just to have on hand. Consider your plans for next weekend and how they might need to change if this winter storm materializes for the Midstate.
