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.

With a winter storm moving across East Tennessee and bringing the threat of multiple inches of snow, difficult driving conditions are expected.

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

After a winter storm moved through and dumped several inches of snow across East Tennessee, state agencies are now warning about the possibility of roadways becoming dangerous. Mark Nagi with the Tennessee Department of Transportation said crews will add to the mixture used on roads to help lower the freezing point.
