Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. Tuesday
A few showers could linger past midnight in West Tennessee, but most of us should be able to stay dry tonight. Under partly cloudy skies with light winds, temperatures will drop to the middle and upper 60s by sunrise at 5:41 a.m. Wednesday morning. There’s a better chance for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday along with the start of the weekend. It’s also worth noting that we’ll need to monitor the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms this week.
WEDNESDAY
A cold front will start to approach northwest areas of the Mid-South like parts of Arkansas and Missouri on Wednesday allowing for a better chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Most of the activity is expected to take place between the later hours of the morning and last into the evening. There could be enough energy to develop one or two thunderstorms with frequent lightning, hail, and strong winds but not enough of the other ingredients necessary to make these storms last very long. High temperatures will be in the lower to middle 80s.
THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND
The cold front will finally push into the region giving us a better chance for more of West Tennessee to get wet on Thursday. Once again, strong to severe thunderstorms would be possible. Stay with the VIPIR 7 Storm Team for the very latest updates to this forecast.
