Oak Ridge is in East Tennessee between the Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. It is home to a national lab, and is where part of the Manhattan Project was located(ya know, atomic bomb). Anyway, the nearby university is the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the Volunteers.
An unsettled pattern seems to be developing for the Southeast, this system that came through this morning in Oak Ridge, produced a lot of severe weather to the west and south. Especially in Arkansas and Alabama. There appears to be a low that will be cutoff in the south west, if it hasn't already, that will slowly make its way towards the Southeast Wednesday through Friday. Models show this low system will track south of us, through Louisiana and Mississippi to the Gulf and then up through Georgia and South Carolina. However, there appears to be an Alberta Clipper to our north that will move through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio at almost the same time. This puts East Tennessee between a rock and a hard place. To our north, they may very well receive snow, and to our south should just be really wet. I believe that between these two, we will get some solid rainy day, but no real change in the temperatures as we will be along the warm front of the southern system. This will keep our temperatures in check, so no snow :( Another system looks to be heading our direction on Sunday as well, so a pattern of clear for a day or two, then a system should begin to set up. This could eventually bring us some colder temperatures, something all snow enthusiasts haven't missed this winter across the South.
