Winter Weather

Winter Storm Watch set for Friday Night

Winter Storm Watch set for Friday Night
John Bobel
April 5, 2018

A Winter Storm Watch will go into effect Friday evening, April 6, 2018 and continue through Saturday morning.

Heavy wet snow is possible with accumulations from 3 to 6 inches possible.

Motorists should plan on difficult travel conditions. Significant reductions in visibility are possible. Broken tree limbs due to heavy snow may result in isolated power outages.

Low pressure crossing the Tennessee Valley will bring widespread precipitation to the region Friday night into Saturday. The precipitation will start as rain but change over to snow from north to south Friday night, tapering off Saturday morning. Significant accumulations will be possible, but there are still some questions about where exactly the band of heaviest snow will set up. Stay tuned to the latest forecasts and possible advisories or warnings.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is the potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may affect travel.

Here’s the latest briefing from the National Weather Service.
