TENNESSEE — A brief round of wintry weather is expected overnight into Saturday morning in parts of Tennessee, with snowfall mainly limited to higher elevations, according to forecasters.
The National Weather Service Morristown said snow is expected to begin around midnight EST and taper off by about 9 a.m. Saturday. Most areas across the Tennessee Valley are expected to see little to no snow accumulation, with precipitation falling mainly as cold drizzle or light wintry precipitation.
Forecasters said the highest snowfall totals will be confined to the higher elevations of east Tennessee, generally above 2,000 feet. In those areas, accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are possible, particularly between 2,000 and 4,000 feet. The highest mountain peaks could see up to 3 inches of snow.
While widespread impacts are not expected, officials warned that travel could be slower across the higher elevations of the east Tennessee mountains. Even light snow accumulations could lead to slick road conditions late Friday night into early Saturday morning, especially on untreated roads…
