Winter Weather Speacial:

Cold Air Slow To Move In....

This morning temperatures are in the lower 20s as cold air was slower to move in.  Temperatures will still be quite cold this morning as front move through the area.  Expect highs today to only be in the 20s with some dropping temperatures as we go through the day.

The big story will be tonight's temperatures in the single digits across the valley areas and below zero across much of the higher elevations.  This combined with the wind will cause wind chills to drop way below zero across the higher elevations.  There has been a Wind Chill Advisory issued for the mountains including Blount, Sevier, and Cocke Smokey Mountains.

Also the cold continues into Friday with highs in the mid 20s, but mostly sunny skies still continue.

Friday night will be another extremely cold one with lows in the single digits in the valley to below zero across the mountains.

Another Shot Of Snow....

The snow chances have come and gone all week and we have another chance a of a weak system right now set for Sunday and Sunday night.  This activity will be light in nature at this time and will have to be monitored.

Important Notes:
  1. Remember to bring pets inside out of the weather for the next several days
  2. Also remember you will need to start your car up early to get your engines warm before going out.
  3. Remember to bundle up yourself as temperatures this low can easily cause frostbite or hypothermia after being outside for long periods of time.
