Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. Monday
A mostly clear but warm and muggy night is in store for West Tennessee. Temperatures will drop to the lower and middle 70s by sunrise at 6:25 a.m. Tuesday morning. Patchy fog will be possible at daybreak but it shouldn’t be widespread.
TUESDAY
Tomorrow, will be another hot and humid day with temperatures warming up above average – to the lower and middle 90s during the afternoon. With the consistent humidity present again, we could see the heat index rise into the middle to upper 90s. We shouldn’t have much rain at all tomorrow, so expect mostly rain-free weather! At most, a brief isolated shower will be the biggest concern on Tuesday.
REST OF THE WEEK
A cold front will move from north to south over West Tennessee from Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The hot and humid weather will take a break allowing for cooler and drier air to come in for the beginning of September! Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Wednesday and Thursday but rain-free weather is currently forecast for Friday with highs in the lower to middle 80s! It’ll be a nice taste of Fall that officially begins in three-and-a-half weeks!
Have a good night!
