Forecast issued Saturday, January 28, 2023

Weather-Aware Times

Currently, a winter storm is not expected next week. However, with temps so close to freezing both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings there is the risk for a wintry mix in those timeframes. That could cause some travel troubles. Please stay tuned because forecast confidence is rather low from Tuesday to Wednesday. Check back for updates as I monitor this all very closely.

Tuesday Morning

For the risk of a wintry mix that could cause travel troubles.

Wednesday Morning

While perhaps not as likely as Tuesday morning’s wintry mix potential, there is a risk for a wintry mix that could cause travel issues Wednesday morning.

Weather Summary

Today is looking fantastic but we will be dealing with increasing wind gusts. Those gusts could top out at 35 mph overnight. Secure any loose objects. That wind blows in the rain, too. That rain and wind stays with us through Sunday.

We get a break Monday before our next system arrives early Tuesday morning. If that system moves in early enough, temps could be just cold enough for a light wintry mix that could cause some travel troubles. Be advised.

That system stays with us through Wednesday and we could once again be dealing with a light wintry mix Wednesday morning.

Forecast confidence is high from now through Monday but it is low beyond that. At this time, the only troubles look to be with a wintry mix possible Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. The forecast for next week could change, but right now it’s looking like the majority of our precip will fall as a cold rain. I’ll keep a close eye on it!

Weather Summary

High pressure is in control today and tomorrow. That high pressure breaks down by Saturday night, as our next storm system blows in. That system will make for a wet and windy Sunday. That system moves out and leaves us with cloudy skies for Monday. Then, our next storm system arrives Monday night and Tuesday with more rain.

Next week’s forecast is a bit of a headache beyond Tuesday. An arctic front will begin moving slowly in from the north, as disturbances continue to affect our area. The coldest of this air will stay to our north, but enough cold air may move in to create a wintry mix Wednesday morning. I’ll keep you posted!

Weather Summary

Scattered snow showers will be with us through the morning hours and could even linger into the afternoon hours. Accumulation looks light and mainly on grassy areas, owing mostly to our marginal temps for snow. For the sake of roads, we can be thankful that we were mild yesterday and that temps are hovering in the lower 30s. Just a couple degrees colder or so and we’d be looking at very slick roads today. Still, there are slick spots out there and I do advise everyone be cautious, especially if you’re driving when one of these snow showers is moving through.

Moving on…

Our next storm system arrives late Saturday night. This system looks liquid and will bring a windy and rainy day to the area on Sunday. That system moves out on Sunday night and leaves us with clouds and mild temps for Monday.

The forecast beyond Monday is, admittedly, quite challenging and could bring a variety of temps and precip types to the region next week. Stay tuned.

Hourly Temp & Precip Forecast

This is hourly weather from 9:00 a.m. to midnight today.

Model Data

This model runs from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and shows scattered snow showers with us throughout the day.

Weather Statistics

For the period of midnight to midnight.

On This Day

1832- The Sparta Recorder and Law Journal reports that a cold snap drops temperatures to -18 degrees at Sparta, -26 degrees at McMinnville, and -18 degrees at Nashville. (The official all-time record low at Nashville is -17.)

1972 – Serbian air stewardess Vesna Vulovic survives 33,330 foot fall without parachute – world’s highest fall without a parachute.

Chance for a Snow Day

While school in Cumberland County is delayed 2 hours, there is still a decent chance for a full cancellation. My confidence in that remains at 60%. Do your homework, kids, just in case! 🙂
