...Snow Accumulations Likely in the Higher Elevations of Northeast
Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and the Cumberland Plateau...

A storm system will move across the southern Appalachians Tonight
through Monday night with showers moving into the area this
evening. Temperatures will drop quickly in the 30s with the
precipitation mixing with or changing to snow overnight.

Across the Plateau, and lower elevations of southwest Virginia
and northeast Tennessee, a mixture of rain and snow showers are
expected through Monday evening. Some light snow accumulations
are possible especially on grassy and elevated surfaces.

The heaviest snow accumulations will occur across the higher
elevations, generally at or above 3000 feet. The Mountains of
southwest Virginia, such as High Knob, will receive between 2 and
5 inches with locally heavier amounts possible. For the far
eastern Tennessee Mountains, snowfall will be heaviest with
accumulations of 5 to 9 inches anticipated.

Travel across the higher terrain will become difficult and
hazardous as snowfall and strong winds will produce blow and
drifting of snow, along with very cold wind chills in the teens
and single digits.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for
further details or updates.
