According to the National Weather Service, a strong low pressure system has formed over Texas and will soon begin heading toward middle Tennessee today. Rain ahead of the system will move into the area this afternoon. Rainfall will increase this evening as the low approaches the area.
Locally heavy rainfall is possible with this system. We expect one to two inches with this system for late this afternoon and tonight. Highest amounts will be over the southeast half of the area.
This system may also generate isolated severe thunderstorms over the areas south of I-40 tonight.
The greatest threat from severe storms will be damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.
The intensity of the low pressure system will generate strong winds over the area. Expect winds in the morning at 10 - 20 mph. Higher gusts are possible. Afternoon winds could increase to15 - 25 mph. Gusts to 35 mph are possible.
Much colder air will pour into the region and slowly change the precipitation from rain to snow.
The low is expected to pull out of the area in the afternoon on Wednesday. This should limit the amount of snowfall to around one inch or less.
Parts of southwestern Kentucky are under a blizzard warning.
Watch FOX 17 News Meteorologists Chris Justus, Barak Shapiro and Craig Edwards over the next two days and they will bring you the latest as the system moves through.

By CHEVEL JOHNSON Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
