Nashville, TN – The National Weather Service (NWS) reports a strong and deep upper level trough will begin developing over the eastern U.S. today and into Monday. Meanwhile, a strong cold front will move through the region tonight and bring noticeably colder temperatures to the area.

A good chance of snow will continue into Monday night with light snowfall still possible for Tuesday as well. Overall, snow fall accumulations should remain on the light side.However, across the Cumberland Plateau region, impulse driven precipitation will be a little more favorable and will combine with the influences of a westerly low level upslope flow. It is across the Cumberland Plateau region where snowfall totals of 1 to 2 inches will be possible by early Tuesday morning.
Across the remainder of Middle Tennessee, less than 1 inch of snowfall will be possible with the southwestern quarter of the mid state seeing only a dusting.
