A significant snow event will move into the Middle Tennessee region on Friday. Here's how much snow the greater Nashville area can expect.

Snow will turn into sleet and freezing rain along parts of the Southeast, as well as southern Arkansas, the weather service reported. Forecasters warn that icy conditions, between a tenth and a quarter inch of ice, will make travel dangerous for many. Power outages and downed branches are also a concern.

Mayor Freddie O'Connell and NDOT expressed confidence this week that the city will be ready for the coming winter storm.

Some areas of Middle Tennessee, especially over the Cumberland Plateau, will fall below freezing on Monday and will remain there until Friday.
