Winter Storm Scenarios
Winter Storm Probabilistic Impacts
Winter Storm Planning
A significant winter storm is likely this weekend. Heavy frozen precipitation is likely, with heavy snowfall increasing in likelihood. The largest uncertainty is where the ice vs snow line sets up in southeastern Tennessee and southwest North Carolina into Georgia. A mix line further north would reduce snow totals and increase ice totals, while a further south mix line would increase an all snow scenario in Chattanooga and other southern counties.

The potential for a significant winter this weekend continues to increases in probability. While significant snow and ice are possible, where exactly the snow vs ice vs mixed precipitation bands set up is still highly uncertain. For now, residents in East Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and southwest North Carolina should check their winter kits and supplies and be prepared before the weekend arrives.
