Black Ice (the worst of winter’s precipitation) is possible if moisture moves in before daybreak Thursday. This is most likely in areas well south and west of Nashville.
Temperatures for most of us should warm to near 40 for a bulk of the day so a cold rain mixed with some sleet and or wet snowflakes is what we expect for Nashville and most of middle Tennessee. The exception will be the areas northwest of Nashville. It could snow and/or sleet most of the day near Clarksville, Hopkinsville, Waverly and they could get a couple of inches of accumulation. We’ll keep you posted on any travel troubles.
Now, Thursday evening will bring dropping temperatures and we do expect to see a changeover to light snow for most of middle Tennessee. We could end up with an inch on the ground in Nashville… perhaps a couple up on the plateau.
Unless, we do get black ice early Thursday morning… I think it is more likely to see schools impacted on Friday than Thursday. You can constantly check the school closing information at http://www.wkrn.com/
