A Winter Storm Watch is currently in place across the state and will be upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning before snow begins to fall. Snow is expected to move into Middle Tennessee Friday morning and continue through early Saturday morning.
Preliminary forecasts indicate higher snow totals in the southern areas and lower amounts in the north, but all regions will experience accumulating snowfall on Friday, with up to 7 inches of snow in some areas anticipated.
In Memphis and Western Tennessee, snow is expected starting Thursday evening, with 2 to 4 inches of snow forecast.
Residents are advised to prepare now, as travel conditions are likely to be impacted on Friday and extend into the weekend.
