Snow chances increasing

Weather Update: 10:15 PM Saturday

West Tennessee is starting to see the rain transitioning into snow in the northwest corner of the area. As the cold air pushes in behind the cold front that brought the afternoon storms the remaining rain will begin switching to snow.

The gusty winds will help it evaporate on the roadways so freezing roads shouldn’t be an issue but still drive carefully. North of I-40 is expecting to see accumulations mainly on elevated surfaces such as grass, bushes, cars. Rain/Snow showers are expecting to continue into the early morning hours on Sunday. Below are *additional* accumulations as of 10 PM on top of what has already fallen.

By sunrise on Sunday things should be clearing around the area. West Tennessee will be left with arctic air that will keep afternoon highs in the upper 20s and low 30s. The cold conditions will continue into Monday as well.

High pressure and much colder air will dominate Sunday afternoon through Tuesday.
