  • A winter weather advisory is in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning for most counties in West Tennessee.
  • Snow and sleet accumulations are expected to be less than an inch, with minimal snow accumulation.
  • Drivers are advised to be prepared for possible delays and dangerous conditions during the Tuesday morning commute.

This year, December is ushering in the holiday season by bringing winter weather to Tennessee.

The National Weather Service is predicting wintry mixed weather for the Mid-South beginning the evening of December 1 and continuing through December 2.

By December 2, a light layer of snow is expected to cover roads and sidewalks in the affected areas, making the morning commute potentially hazardous. The weather service is advising drivers to prepare for delays and allow extra space between vehicles in the morning.

A Winter Weather Advisory will be issued for western Tennessee counties this afternoon.

Here’s what to expect from the upcoming weather system.

Mid-South Winter Weather Advisory

Beginning at 3 p.m. on December 1, the National Weather Service will issue a Winter Weather Advisory primarily for areas north of I-40. Shelby County is not part of the advisory area, but the northern portion of the county could see a wintry mix.

“The forecast for mid-morning Monday through early Tuesday morning is, frankly, a mess,” the National Weather Service wrote. “The greatest confidence for any winter weather-related impacts will generally be for locations in northeast Arkansas, the Missouri Bootheel, and far northwest Tennessee.”

Affected Tennessee counties include Benton, Carroll, Crockett, Decatur, Dyer, Gibson, Haywood, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, Madison, Obion, Tipton and Weakley.
