Discussion              

An Arctic frontal boundary zone will be a key player in the Tennessee Valley during the next few days. Ahead of the incoming front, temperatures will climb into the 50’s today and there can be occasional showers, maybe even a thunderstorm.  Colder air will filter into the area late tonight and Thursday promises to be a much colder day with plenty of wind and occasional snow showers are likely. The snow showers tomorrow can be mixed with sleet and/or freezing rain at times with temperatures confined to the lower 30’s for afternoon highs.
