Nashville winter storm updates: Latest on school closings, road conditions in Middle Tennessee
Days after deadly storms dropped buckets of rain on Tennessee, a winter storm could now blanket the region with several inches of snow.
Areas north of Interstate 40 are under a winter storm warning where anywhere from 2 to 4 inches are expected with some local measurements up to 6 inches, the National Weather Service in Nashville said.
"Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning commute," the weather service said.

The Nashville Department of Transportation, in anticipation of the winter weather event, started pre-treating primary, secondary and post-secondary routes with brine on Monday, according to a news release Tuesday.
'We have 40 snowplow trucks ready with crews to ensure that first responders can get to people and public transit can run safely on any detours,' NDOT Director Diana Alarcon said. 'We encourage everyone to give our crews plenty of room to work, to stay off roads if possible, and if you must travel during the snow, drive slowly and cautiously.'
