Winter Weather in Union, Tennessee

Light snow and wintry mix fell in Union County, 2 inches of snow was reported by the public in Rose Hill, 2.5 inches of snow was measured by the COOP observer in Maynardville.

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.
