The system was expected to bring warmer air Sunday night meaning a possible transition to rain Sunday night through Monday morning. Many areas, especially those south of Interstate 40 were already seeing mainly rain.
Accumulation projections showed a possibility of 1 inch of snow along and north of Interstate 40, with around 2-3 inches along the Tennessee/Kentucky border. The Northern Plateau could expect more than 3 inches.
Warm air was expected to surge northward changing snow to freezing rain/sleet along the Tennessee/Kentucky border.
