Possible snow tileChattanooga’s coldest weather this winter is expected to blow in later this week bringing expected highs in the middle 30s and lows below the teens.
Highs today are expected to reach about 40 degrees and get up to 50 degrees on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies. But on Wednesday the high temperatures are expected to plummet to 34 degrees. And on Thursday the forecast low is 10 degrees and lower for upper elevations.
“Cold air is coming in,” said Meteorologist David Hotz of the National Weather Service in Morristown, Tenn. It will be the coldest winter weather so far this season, he said.
Locally the coldest temperature this winter came Nov. 19, 2014, when the low dropped to 19 degrees.
“I’m ready for it to be cold,” said Tabitha Campbell, a native Boston resident and Yellow Deli employee. “And if it’s going to be cold, I don’t mind seeing a little snow.”
