NASHVILLE, TN – Due to the forecasted winter storm and the threat of hazardous travel conditions across portions of Tennessee, Governor Bill Lee has closed state offices in the West and Middle Grand Divisions on Wednesday, February 19.

State services offered online will remain available and state employees able to work from home should do so.

Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) continues to monitor the forecast and work with local, regional, and state partners to support readiness actions and any requests for resources.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is pre-treating interstates and state routes and urges Tennesseans to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel in affected areas.
