East Tennessee Weather II

Hazardous outlook. Right in the middle of the heavy snow zone. Hoping the track of the low keeps going the way it's headed, right in the sweet spot for us

NWS Morristown will get more aggressive with their warnings tomorrow.

You can tell Todd Howell is beginning to get confident.

I do think we will see a winter storm watch being issued for East TN tomorrow.

I do think we will see a winter storm watch being issued for East TN tomorrow.

For sure. This will be a good snow. 3 to 6 inches for may areas with locally heavier amounts. We will be well set up for accumulations on all surfaces. Don't make Friday evening plans other than sitting at the house.

This should move to a Winter Storm Warning later today. Probably after the 12z model runs today as long as the track of the Low stays the same.

So what is everybody thinking as far as snow totals for Knoxville? 4-6?

That's a good range.

6+ wouldn't surprise me at all if the track stays the same.

The biggest thing, look at the temps through next Friday. What falls isn't going anywhere and will refreeze each night.
As Vol Knight said, get prepared and don't be caught off guard with icy roads lingering for days.

Yeah, it's going to be a concern for a bit. I'm interested in seeing when it's going to warm up a bit. The 10 day looks brutal.

Had to go to the Co-Op yesterday and pick up some feed, and the old timer there is convinced that we are going to get more than what the “weather eggheads on TV” are saying. His citation: a mix of old farmers and wives tales, ranging from how the cattle are acting to the color of the sky at sundown. He was 100% serious and I’m guessing he’s probably in his late 70’s, so maybe he’s onto something.

I want to believe.

But a good 4-6” I will definitely be happy with.
