Nashville, TN – A significant winter storm is set to sweep across Middle Tennessee starting Friday, bringing 4 to 7 inches of snow. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the region, warning of hazardous travel conditions, particularly along major routes like I-65 and I-40.
According to the NWS, snow will begin spreading from west to east Friday morning, intensifying by late afternoon. Areas like Tullahoma could see totals up to 8 inches. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and prepare emergency kits with blankets, water, and food in case of road closures.
The snow is expected to cause widespread disruptions, with slippery roads and poor visibility creating dangerous conditions for commuters and travelers. Prolonged cold temperatures will delay melting, leaving ice patches on rural and secondary roads through the weekend.
Thursday will remain calm with sunny skies and a high of 36°F, offering a chance to stock up on supplies before the storm. Friday will see snow showers, with lows dropping to 26°F. Over the weekend, temperatures will stay below freezing, prolonging icy conditions.
Officials recommend monitoring local forecasts and exercising caution on the roads. Stay updated by checking the NWS website for real-time alerts and advisories.
Be prepared and plan ahead—this storm will impact much of Tennessee, with possible disruptions extending into early next week.
