Spring kicks off next week.

The official start of Spring will be on next Tuesday, March 20, 2018 at 12:15 EST. I wouldn't be surprised if we had our last snow on the first day of Spring. (See image details below)




Tuesday is just beyond the seven day forecast so there is no degree of certainty that it will snow but it it is something to keep an eye on. There's also the possibility of ice Friday night into Saturday. Here's how the NWS describes it:

.LONG TERM /Friday through Monday Night/...

Issued at 342 AM EDT Tue Mar 13 2018

A frontal boundary over Tennessee will result in a wintry mix
across the far southern counties early in the extended period.
But, it won`t be until Friday night and Saturday when
precipitation chances increase with an upper low, once again
starting with a wintry mix on Saturday morning. There seems to be
a lot of variability in models though, so will not deviate from
latest blended initialization. Sunday, ridging will strengthen
over central Indiana, resulting in dry conditions. However, the
pattern will shift again by Monday as another system approaches
from the Missouri Valley. For now, will continue to leave out
mention of thunderstorms this late in the period, but this could
change if dynamics continue to improve. Temperatures will
originally start out below normal on Friday, then climb above
normal over the weekend.
