NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Last night's snow could be just the beginning for some parts of the Midstate. There's a Winter Weather Advisory for the Plateau Saturday from 6am-6pm. Another system will roll into the Midstate tomorrow, bringing a good shot at more snow for a good chunk of the area. On the Plateau, we could see an additional 1"-2" during the day. For everyone else, the precipitation starts as snow, but as temperatures warm, the snow should change to a winter mix before going to all rain during the warmest part of the day. After tomorrow, temperatures will slowly climb with our next shot at rain late Monday and early Tuesday. SKYWATCH Meteorologist Barak Shapiro will give the latest on the Winter Weather Advisory TONIGHT on FOX17 NEWS. Join him on Facebook and find him on Twitter @Barak_Shapiro.

Man pleads guilty to Memphis officer's murder
May 21, 2013 22:22 GMT
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A former death row inmate is set to be released from prison after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of a Memphis police officer.
Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said Tuesday that she has accepted Timothy McKinney's guilty plea.
McKinney was convicted of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Officer Don Williams. The officer was killed outside a comedy club in December 1997.
McKinney appealed and won a new trial, which ended with a deadlocked jury. A third trial earlier this year also ended in a hung jury.
The Commercial Appeal reports that McKinney was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since he's already served more than 15 years -- including 11 on death row -- McKinney will be released this week.
Williams' family opposed the settlement.
