Once we get through this cold snap, we will warm up over the weekend, dry out, and Spring returns next week. Welcome to Tennessee. Right now, the timing for snow for Middle Tennessee, according to the National Weather Service, is between 9pm Tuesday night and 9am Wednesday. It will be cold enough to stick, and we won’t thaw out until maybe Friday.

Plan on:
Slick roads, especially bridges, overpasses, and untreated secondary roads.
Bitter cold Wednesday night through Friday night.

Those suffering from flooding should see rivers and creeks subside but should continue to monitor for local advisories.
