Forecast Discussion

A brisk northwest flow is producing clouds on the west side of the Appalachians. Colder air is settling in tonight.

An upper level disturbance moves through the Tennessee Valley for Monday bringing increased clouds the potential for light rain or light snow with light accumulations limited to higher elevations.

High pressure builds over the Midwest and Ohio Valley towards mid-week. A weak low in the Gulf increases clouds Wednesday with spotty afternoon flurries along the higher terrain.

High pressure muscles back in Thursday giving us partly cloudy skies into Friday. Another low in the Gulf next weekend increases clouds Friday. I cannot rule out rain or a wintry mix Friday night.
