Snow This Morning; Cold Today

COLD PATTERN THIS WEEK: Snow this morning across the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. Early morning reports show up to 1/2" has accumulated in Monterey and Westmoreland. Some of the higher elevations could receive as much as 1" of accumulation. A cold north-northwest wind will make our high of 35° feel much colder. Clouds stay with us tonight, low of 25° and sunshine returns for Sunday with highs in the upper 30's.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK: Expect this below-normal pattern of temperatures to continue though the next 10 days with a possible warm-up coming after mid-February. Precipitation will continue to run above normal, too. During the first six days, we have recorded more than 2.5 times the average February precipitation thus far.
