Nashville, TN – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Nashville has issued a winter storm warning for snow mixing with freezing rain and sleet, which is in effect until 6:00pmCT this evening.
Early this morning in Clarksville-Montgomery County, it began to sleet with freezing rain. This has caused all roads to become frozen over with this icy mix. Currently, it is sleeting with a mix of snow. It is expect to turn to all snow as the day progresses.
A strong storm system will move across the arctic air mass in place over the region to bring a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain to Clarksville-Montgomery County as well as Middle Tennessee today.
Areas along and north of Interstate 40 and east of Interstate 24 will see mainly snow with 2 to 4 inches possible with the higher amounts near the Kentucky border.
Later in the morning and into the afternoon snow will give way to a mix of sleet, freezing rain, and eventually rain on top of the snow.
South of Interstate 40 and west of Interstate 24, a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is expected with a dusting to around 2 inches of snow possible along with around a tenth of an inch of ice. Major travel impacts are expected due to snow and ice accumulations on roads and bridges, especially during the morning commute.
