[ETSkywarnings] Special Weather Statement

[sn at ds.bz]

...significant wintry weather possible by sunday into monday...

much colder air in place across the tennessee valley and southern
appalachians will be a factor...as two weather systems develop and
affect the region over the next few days.

the first system will be an area of low pressure developing just
off the southeast atlantic coast tonight...then tracking north
across georgia and the carolinas. this system should only produce a
chance of light wintry precipitation mainly on thursday...and
generally just for southern and eastern most areas. in fact...most
if not all of the significant precipitation could stay east of the
area.

a stronger low pressure system may develop over the lower
mississippi valley on sunday...and then track northeast toward the
southern appalachians sunday night. this system would draw much
more gulf moisture northward into the region...with cold air still
much in place. this would create at least the potential for a
significant amount of wintry precipitation...lasting into monday.

however...actual wintry types and amounts of precipitation will
depend on the track...strength and timing of this system...which may
all change some over the next few days. thus...your national weather
service suggests that you stay tuned for later statements and
forecasts as the weekend draws closer.
