Winter storm latest: Several inches of snow expected

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It’s safe to say that everybody in the WREG viewing area is going to get at least two or three inches of snow.

We’re headed into the lower 20s by early Wednesday, but the winds will be very light. It’s a good idea to drip your faucets to be safe.

Wednesday we will battle the cloud cover again, but the sunshine should win out in spots by the afternoon. Highs will be in the lower to mid-30s. Other than the cold, we have no issues through Thursday afternoon.

Winter storm on the way; expect snow Friday

The first flakes will begin to fly Thursday evening and snowfall will intensify overnight.

Go ahead and plan on the majority, if not all, local schools being closed on Friday.

However, there will be swaths of 5 to 7 inches or more of snow mainly along and south of the I-40 corridor.

The biggest variable at this point is how much the rain/snow line gets involved in our far southern counties.

It’s going to be close, so expect some adjustments in those areas as the storm draws closer.

It’s important to remember though that the impacts, such as hazardous travel, will be similar everywhere regardless of how much snow you receive.

This will be a heavy, wet snow that could cause sporadic power outages.
