The potential for a significant winter this weekend has increased in probability enough to warrant attention. 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.
Cool and dry weather continues through midweek with high pressure in control. Precipitation chances will increase later in the week.
