UPDATE...
INITIAL DISTURBANCE WHICH CAN BE SEEN IN VORTICITY FIELD AND
SOMEWHAT DARKER SHADING IN WATER VAPOR LOOP BEGINNING TO SLIDE
OFF TO OUR EAST WITH LIGHT SNOW DIMINISHING ACROSS EASTERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE AND ALONG THE PLATEAU. MOST OF THE REPORTS WE`VE HAD
MENTIONED A DUSTING ON GRASSY AREAS AND ROOFTOPS WITH 1/2 INCH OF
SNOW EAST OF SMITHVILLE. MOST ROADS HAVE REMAINED WET THIS EVENING
BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW SLICK SPOTS REPORTED. AS TEMPS FALL
BELOW FREEZING WE COULD SEE MORE SLICK AREAS DEVELOP ON ROADWAYS...
ESPECIALLY AS WE GO THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS ANOTHER UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE DIVES DOWN THROUGH EASTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
THIS DISTURBANCE CAN ALSO BE SEEN PULLING OFF LOWER LAKE MICHIGAN
AT THIS TIME IN THE WATER VAPOR (DARKER SHADING) AND IN THE
VORTICITY FIELD OF THE RUC. THE 00Z NAM HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS
FEATURE AS IT DIVES DOWN THIS WAY THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY. SO HAVE
RAISED THE POPS A LITTLE AND SNOW AMOUNTS BY A FEW TENTHS
NORTHEAST MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND ALONG THE PLATEAU FOR AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
