A Thursday cold front was spilling some arctic frigid air into the Tennessee Valley on Friday, setting the stage for what promises to be a very cold weekend.
A series of cold fronts will move through our area over the weekend period, reinforcing the cold air already in place. With a very dry air mass over us, we do not expect any precipitation until at least Tuesday. As the map shows below, a large area of high pressure will dominate our weather for the entire weekend.
The cold front shown in western Canada will make its way toward us by Tuesday to bring the likelyhood of showers and thunderstorms. By Wednesday those showers could end up as snow flurries or showers as another blast of sub-freezing temperatures will spill in at that time.
Just bundle up and enjoy this taste of wintry temperatures!
