Newest timing for snow & how much could accumulate

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 6 pm Friday to 6 am Saturday as a cold front brings a chance for snow.

A strong cold front will move into the area Friday into Saturday. This will bring much colder temperatures and the chance of some accumulating snow. Although Friday will be mostly cloudy, high temperatures will still reach the upper 50s. The day will start off dry, but the cold front will slowly push in precipitation tonight.

Precipitation will start off as a rain/sleet mixture around 5pm and then switch over to all snow by 9 pm as cold air quickly pours into the area.

Snow will continue through midnight and then end quickly after that. Clouds will also clear overnight.

Most areas will get a dusting to 1″ of snow accumulation on grassy surfaces. However, Some areas could see snow totals up to 2″.

Low temperatures will drop to the 20s on Friday night, and we will struggle to get out of the 30s on Saturday.

The good news is that this will be a short cold spell as we will rebound quickly on Sunday as temperatures will climb to the mid 50s.

REMINDER: Don’t forget to “Spring Forward” on Saturday night!
