For those who are looking for warm weather, 60s will be making a brief return next week.

Nvm, thought you were talking about the season.

I mostly agree, but I would get a good laugh at those who act like it was the biggest mistake in NFL history for the Titans to fire Vrabel if the Patriots do go on to lose.

Not the Vrabel worshippers in the fan base.

Last week, the storm track basically made it to where it went from snow to ice storm. This time, it's definitely going to be all snow. Temps aren't going to be hovering in the lower 30s. It's going to drop into the teens Friday night into Saturday when most of the snow will hit.

This staff is looking strong.

SUMMARY...Freezing rain mixed with sleet is expected to expand across parts of the Tennessee Valley to the southern Appalachians through late afternoon. The most likely corridor for appreciable accretion appears centered on north-central Mississippi, northwest Alabama, and southeast...

To expand this post: Winter Storm Warnings have been posted for the Northern Plateau and TN/VA border counties. A Trace to 3 inches of snow/sleet and ice accretion up to .4 of an inch is possible. Ice Storm Warnings have been posted for the Southern Plateau, Southern and Central Valley...

The likelihood of moderate impacts from ice (freezing rain) in the map below is a good representation of what I just said where a bigger concern would be for the western half of East TN and not as much for the foothills side.

Definitely premature to say this. IF there is a mountain wave (strong winds) situation that MRX is thinking might be possible, the foothills side of the valley might get warm enough to turn to rain. A concern I have is that the western valley (along/west of Interstate 75) has a habit of hanging...

Leaning more towards the central and southern valley.

The concern for East TN is that there could be areas that see freezing rain for a very long time, meaning 1 inch of ice or more is not off the table.

As of now, you might be mostly snow.

If trends continue, I could see the winter storm watch being upgraded to an ice storm warning. I hope I'm wrong on that.

Looking at the maps, it's more freezing rain than sleet. I have a strong feeling that folks are going to be without power for awhile.
