Ahh June-uary was very nice. Remember, basking in the sun and upper 60s after that brief cold snap? Yeah, bad news, that’s over. Winter weather returns, and so does the guessing game that is the winter weather forecast. Over the last 48 hours Sunday’s forecast has gone from “only the Cumberland Plateau ” event to ” we may need to make plans for Monday morning commute ” mode.

We will update as details become available on our weather page. But, here’s what we know now from the NWS:

Light Snow Expected Across Middle Tennessee...

Patchy flurries or very light snow will develop across Middle
Tennessee late tonight. A couple of slick spots could develop by
daybreak Sunday, but should improve quickly Sunday morning as
temperatures rise above freezing.

Through the day Sunday, there will be scattered rain and snow
showers. No major travel problems are expected with temperatures
above freezing.

By Sunday evening, temperatures will fall, and precipitation will
change to all snow. Most of the Mid State will have snowfall
amounts ranging from just flurries to a dusting. However, locations
northeast of Interstate 24 will have greater accumulation
potential, with around 1 inch expected for the Upper Cumberland
Region. The highest elevations of the Plateau could have 1 to 2
inches of snowfall Sunday evening.

Travel problems could develop across Middle Tennessee, especially
Sunday night. Temperatures will be in the 20s Sunday night, so any
travel problems could impact Monday morning work and school
travel.
