Snow totals for the whole area will range from 3 to 6 inches in the far northwest, to 2 to 4 inches on the Cumberland Plateau, to 2 to 3 inches elsewhere across Middle Tennessee.

Major travel impacts are expected Friday and could last into Saturday as temperatures will remain below freezing until Sunday afternoon.
