Today is a Storm Alert Weather Day as bitterly cold temperatures settle across the Tennessee Valley. We are starting the day with dangerously low wind chill values ranging from -5 to 0 degrees. Temperatures will be about 25 degrees below normal today, with highs only reaching the 20s. Remember the 4 P's (people, plants, pets, and pipes) tonight before heading to bed as temperatures drop back into the teens.

A rare winter storm will take shape across the Deep South Tuesday through Wednesday morning. It looks like most of the moisture will stay to our south, but there is the potential for some light snow along and south of the Tennessee state line on Tuesday. North Georgia will have the best chance for light* accumulations. Even light accumulations will cause issues with the arctic airmass in place.

Wednesday through Friday will remain cold, with highs in the 30s and 40s and overnight lows in the 20s. This weekend will be slightly warmer, with rain chances returning on Sunday.
