The National Weather Service in Nashville has issued a Winter Storm Watch, which is in effect from late Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

The NWS expects the storm to bring 2 to 4 inches of snow followed by blowing and drifting snow. The snowfall will stick to roads with no melting and strong northwest winds will cause a period of blowing and drifting snow. This will cause travel problems or delays across the mid-state.

Another surge of Arctic air will move into the area in the wake of the system and will drive temperatures into the single digits Friday night with wind chill readings below zero.
