Windy & Warm
Winds will remain gusty throughout the day especially along the foothills of East TN where a HIGH WIND WARNING remains in effect from Greene County south into the SMOKY Mountains.
A line of showers will be approaching the area this afternoon, so expect a slight chance for scattered showers mid to late this afternoon along with warm temperatures near 70 in the Tri-Cities, 50’s in the mountains.
Possible HIGH IMPACT STORM SUNDAY
A storm system continues to evolve for this weekend, looking more favorable to become a high impact storm. Rain mixed with snow is expected to begin early Sunday morning. A change to mostly snow is expected during the day with the potential for heavy snow.
The mountains of East TN and western NC could see several inches of snow, while Tri-Cities has the potential to see a few inches; 5 to 10 inches for the mountains and 1 to 3 inches for the Tri-Cities looks like a reasonable range at this point. Keep in mind, there is still plenty of UNCERTAINTY with accumulations, so be prepared for more changes in the next few days.
