Winter makes a come back today and the Wintry feel could stick around for a while. Rain will be likely across the region today (100% coverage), but it won’t rain continuously all day…there will be breaks at times. The wind picks up this afternoon and colder air will rush in dropping temperatures quickly across the Plateau early afternoon, in the Valley late afternoon early evening and into the Mountains by sunset. This means the “mainly rain” event will mix with and eventually change to some snow across the area later today and especially tonight.

A chilly rain moves into the area tonight and may mix with some wet snowflakes. The best chance for accumulations will along the higher elevations, especially SE Kentucky and the Smoky Mountains where WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES are in effect. We can't rule out some snow on grassy surfaces in the valley Tuesday morning but with temperatures above freezing, big travel problems are not expected. Colder air brings snow showers late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Some slick roads are possible by Tuesday night. Be sure to follow the 6 Storm Team at www.twitter.com/wateweather.

We will continue with the cloudy and cool conditions this afternoon, but you will not need the umbrella. Don’t forget it though for Tuesday as rain will move into the region overnight into tomorrow. In fact, it could also mix with some snow in some areas (especially for the Plateau, S.E. KY and the Mountains) overnight. Some good news is that most areas will NOT drop below freezing overnight into Tuesday, so any snow accumulations look mainly to be on the grassy surfaces with just wet roads (caution on some bridges and overpasses though).

Not a lot of sunshine is expected this week and the cooler weather pattern will stick around as well. You will not need the umbrella today, but remember where you put it because rain will move into the region overnight into Tuesday. In fact, it could also mix with some snow in some areas (mainly higher elevations) overnight as well. It will be a breezy, chilly and raw day Tuesday with a mainly morning rain event, but I do think it will mix with/change to snow late Tuesday into Tuesday night with some “light” accumulations into Wednesday (especially higher elevations)…stay tuned.

Mostly Cloudy tonight with some clearing possible late. Temperatures will drop into the 20's. Although we may see some sun tomorrow, Clouds will increase again later Monday as yet another system moves our way. Timing then becomes very important. As Rain develops Monday Night, it may Begin as Snow,Sleet and Freezing Rain mainly North of Knoxville. No Big problems are expected as most of this will change to Rain fairly quickly. Look for a Wet Tuesday (100%). The Rain will then change to Snow Showers Tuesday Night before ending. Look for another batch of Cold Air Mid-Late Week.

Today will start off cloudy but then we will see some sunshine as we move through the day. Temperatures will remain below normal. Many areas will hold in the 30's with a Few Low 40's. Tonight will be Cold as we head back into the 20's. Clouds will Increase Again on Monday as yet another system moves our way. Look for a Wet Tuesday (100%), but it will have to be watched for timing. If it begins early enough, it may begin as a Wintery Mix and then change to Rain. Temperatures will remain below normal the rest of the week.
