PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 317 AM CST TUE DEC 10 2013/

DISCUSSION...WE WILL GO AHEAD AND CANCEL THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF I 65 AND OUR FAR SOUTHERN
TIER WHERE PRECIPITATION HAS ENDED. MAIN IMPACTS FROM THIS EVENT
HAVE BEEN GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM COLUMBIA TO MURFREESBORO
TO CROSSVILLE...WITH A MIX OF SLEET...SNOW AND SOME FREEZING
RAIN. A NARROW BAND OF RELATIVELY HEAVIER SNOW DEVELOPED FROM
PERRY AND HICKMAN COUNTIES...NORTHEAST ACROSS NASHVILLE METRO AND
UP INTO MACON COUNTY. THIS BAND PRODUCED CLOSE TO 1 INCH OF SNOW.
THE REST OF THE ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM...BUT RADAR
TRENDS SUGGEST WE WILL BE ABLE TO END THE ADVISORY EARLIER THAN
THAT. ALL AREAS THAT RECEIVED PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT WILL LIKELY
HAVE SLICK ROADS WITH FREEZING TEMPS ACROSS MID TN...WE WILL ISSUE
A STATEMENT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SLICK ROADS.

THE GOOD NEWS TODAY IS THAT IN SPITE OF THE COLD AND SLIPPERY
START TO THE DAY...WE WILL FINALLY SEE SOME SUNSHINE...AT LEAST
IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL STILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL...IN THE
30S.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE DRY AND QUITE CHILLY. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL DIP INTO THE TEENS AND LOW 20S. HIGHS WEDNESDAY WILL MAKE IT
INTO THE 40S WITH SUNSHINE...BUT A REINFORCING COLD SHOT WILL
DROP HIGHS BACK TO THE 30S FOR MOST AREAS ON THURSDAY.

THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING IN JUST IN TIME FOR THE
WEEKEND. RAIN WILL SPREAD OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. RAIN WILL
CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY...THEN COLD AIR WILL WRAP INTO THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY BRINGING ANOTHER BOUT OF WINTRY
PRECIPITATION...LOOKING LIKE MOSTLY SNOW AT THIS TIME.
