There is a wind advisory in effect for the Great Smoky Mountains this afternoon until 4pm plus a winter weather advisory has been issued for 9pm tonight through 4pm tomorrow. Total snow accumulation may be 2 to 5 inches…with heavier amounts possible in the highest elevations.

Smoky Mountains Forecast

We don’t have a wind advisory here (just outside the Park) but it has been extremely windy today (I’m surprised we still have power, as much as it’s flickered on and off today) –so if you’re even heading toward the mountains, please be careful.

Blessings and drive safely,
