Winter Storm in Sequatchie, Tennessee

A mixed precipitation event occurred in Sequatchie County. Event started out as snow and eventually transitioning to mixed precipitation and ending as rain. A CoCoRaHS observer reported 3.3 inches of snow east of Dunlap. The COOP observer reported 3.8 inches of snow and 0.25 inches of ice in Cartwright.

Low pressure cyclone passing to the south with upper level forcing induced a broad and significant snowstorm across the region, including East Tennessee, which experienced heavy snowfall. A frontogenesis band across southern Tennessee and northern Georgia helped power higher snowfall rates early into the event across southeastern Tennessee, resulting in locally heavier snowfall before warm air advection brought a changeover in precipitation type to icing and eventually to rain.
