Knoxville may experience snow this weekend, with cold temperatures expected to follow through late January
Knoxville: Just when you thought the snow was gone, more is on the way this weekend. The forecast shows a chance of snow on Saturday, January 18, and Sunday, January 19. But don’t worry too much; it looks like we won’t see much accumulation this time around.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday might start with rain, especially in the valleys, but up in the mountains, it could kick off as snow. Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect in some nearby towns.
In Knoxville, there’s a 60% chance of a wintry mix on Saturday, with lower chances for Sunday. Gatlinburg is looking at a 70% chance of rain and snow Saturday night, while Oneida has a 50% chance. Kingsport might see some rain before 3 a.m. on Saturday, and Mountain City is expecting a 100% chance of rain, possibly mixed with snow.
Now, about the cold—get ready! An arctic blast is heading our way, and it’s going to bring some seriously chilly temperatures. From January 19 to January 25, we’re looking at freezing temps, especially on Martin Luther King Day, when it could be in the teens and low 20s. So, bundle up!
