Snow threat going into Saturday morning

(SEVIERVILLE, Tenn.) SMOKIES.LIVE – A small snow threat will move across East Tennessee and Western North Carolina overnight into Saturday morning. This will have the chance to lay down a small dusting of snow.

Any snow that starts will form around 11 p.m in the Sevierville and Pigeon Forge areas. It will start sooner closer to Gatlinburg and over the mountain to Cherokee, N.C.

Areas closest to the National Park will see more snow and a better chance at getting close to an inch. This would be more expanded across Haywood and Swain Counties in the Smokies.

Snowfall will come to an end around daybreak on Saturday.

Winds will continue to blow around until after midnight on Sunday in the Cherokee area. Winds will calm near daybreak on Saturday in Gatlinburg.
