NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A winter storm continues to bear down on Tennessee and forecasters are scrambling to figure out what form of precipitation is likely to fall where.
A statement from the National Weather Service office in Memphis early Thursday said icing of up to a half inch was possible along the Interstate 40 corridor from Memphis to Jackson. Forecasters cautioned that it wasn't clear what form the precipitation would take.
Precipitation was expected begin early Friday morning in Middle Tennessee with snow in the northern counties and a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain south of Nashville. By Friday night, snow was expected to overspread the entire region.
In the Tri-Cities and Knoxville areas, 1 to 3 inches of snow was forecast Friday and there's a possibility of heavy snow Friday night.
Around Chattanooga, rain was expected to turn to snow late Friday afternoon, accumulating up to 2 inches.
