UPDATE: Winter Weather Potential for President's Day

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for all of the Mid-South from 6pm Sunday through 6pm Monday. This means that we're still expecting significant winter weather to cause travel problems primarily on President's Day.


Hopefully you've enjoyed the nice warm weather today - much weather than we anticipated!

For any Valentine’s plans tonight, expect the wind to continue to be gusty as colder air moves into the region behind the oncoming cold front.
We might start with a break of sunshine in the morning but the forecast gusty winds and temperatures in the teens have prompted a wind chill advisory over the area. Wind chills below zero will be possible in the morning, especially in northwest Tennessee.



Precipitation won't start to move into the area until after dark on Sunday and will continue overnight into Monday morning. It will likely start as an ice/snow mix over most of the area before changing to all snow. Freezing rain will be possible in northern Mississippi and extreme southwest Tennessee where accumulating ice could cause tree limbs to fall on to power lines resulting in spotty outages in those areas. However, most of West Tennessee will get mostly snow with up to 5" or a little more accumulating by lunchtime on Monday. Temperatures will struggle to get above freezing each day from Sunday through Wednesday as cold air settles in.


Stay tuned for more updates from the VIPIR 7 Storm Team!
