Changes start to arrive Friday

Higher resolution models have come into play giving us better guidance on timing and precip.

The latest on our weekend storm

This storm system is expected to arrive Saturday afternoon, then continue into the evening. Location matters on what type of precip. you will see. Parts of the High Country and north of I40 snow will enter to start with the rest of the region seeing sleet.

The worst of this situation will be a nocturnal event (In the dark) Saturday night into Sunday.  Area’s north of I-40 will shift from snow to a messy mix of sleet and freezing rain through the day Sunday. For the Metro, sleet will take over to start then transition into mostly freezing rain, and that’s where things will get serious. Ice accumulations in the range of near a half an inch is possible. This will create widespread travel problems and increase the risk of power outages, into early next week.

Precip will taper off Sunday night with the bitter cold moving in. Widespread frozen pipes are likely.

 Now is the time to prepare and stay tuned to our team!
