Snow Forecast For Early This Week:

Well for those wanting lots of snow the story has changed since Wednesday.  The system according to the current model forecasts are putting the area of low pressure to the far east.  What does this mean for us?  Well when a system moves too far east we see less precipitation.  Now right now looks like most areas will see rain on Monday, then there will be a change over to snow depending on location and temperature change.  Now this does not rule out the possibility of travel issues as we go into Monday Night and Tuesday.  So as always keep it here at ETWeather Blog for the latest on this developing weather situation.

Latest Information On Next Week's Snow Event:

Right now the models are pushing the low farther east then yesterday.  This will limit the precipitation some.  At this time it is still hard to say how much precipitation we will receive.  The National Weather Service still has a Special Weather Statement discussing this event.  Remember to keep a close eye on this system as it develops and keep it here at ETWeather Blog for the latest information as it becomes available.

Interesting Winter Weather:

Right now there is a good chance for winter weather to develop across the Tennessee Valley early next week.  This is one of the better systems I have seen all season if you are looking for the possibility of winter weather.  The National Weather Service in Morristown, TN has already issued a Special Weather Statement addressing this system which can be read across the ticker at the top of this page.  Remember to keep it here at ETWeather Blog for the latest on this system as it becomes available.
