Flurries are forecast to start falling in East Tennessee late Friday morning through the early afternoon, depending on the city. The storm will continue through Friday afternoon and night. Due to the storm, East Tennessee will accumulate between 3-6 inches of fresh snow.

TEMA said people should expect road conditions to remain bad through the rest of the night. Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing during the day this weekend, but that will create the risk of snow melt refreezing and turning to ice on the roads, particularly roads with a lot of trees and shade, and rural back roads.

Friday's snowstorm is expected to bring around six inches of snow to Knoxville, significantly impacting traffic in the region.
