"First Alert: Tennessee Braces for Heavy Rain and 40+ MPH Wind Gusts"
Tennessee is bracing for extreme cold and potential snow starting next week, with below normal temperatures and a high risk of hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service forecasts a significant pattern change and a widespread cold air outbreak that could affect areas east of the Rockies into late January. Following the first-ever rolling blackouts in December 2022, the Tennessee Valley Authority has invested in insulation and advanced winter readiness technologies to avoid a repeat of the situation.
