Smoky Mtn Observations

With a combination of cold temperatures falling into the mid to upper 30s, clear skies, and calm winds, frost formation is possible across portions of northeast Tennessee, the northern Cumberland Plateau, and all of southwest Virginia tonight and into tomorrow morning.

Much cooler and drier conditions will be in place tonight, cold enough for some patchy frost to develop in the northern areas and also at higher elevations. Dry conditions continue on Friday, then rain chances return this weekend.
