Key Forecast Points for Thursday Night
Forecaster Comments:
• Models are trending upwards with the ice totals in the far northwest
• There is still uncertainty on how fast the rain will transition to freezing rain. This could affect totals in all areas.
• A tight gradient of ice accumulations is likely north and west of Stewart County
• Even non-highlighted areas of Middle TN could see very light ice accumulation before midnight, so there may be at least minor travel impacts everywhere in Middle TN Friday morning
