Weather Update – 10:45 p.m. Monday

After having the warmest Presidents’ Day on record in Jackson, rain showers are slowly coming in closer to West Tennessee. This will likely bring a rainy start to the day on Tuesday with off and on rain into the afternoon.

Mostly cloudy conditions will continue overnight with mainly dry weather before midnight. Around midnight, showers will start to arrive early Tuesday as a cold front approaches the region. Expect temperatures to start out in the middle to upper 50s and lower 60s Tuesday morning.

Off-and-on rain showers will continue through most of the morning on Tuesday and linger into the afternoon. A rumble of thunder cannot be completely ruled out but severe weather is not expected.

Temperatures will warm up day by day with Friday ultimately featuring a chance for temperatures to reach 80°F in parts of West Tennessee! A cold front coming on Friday night will bring cooler weather for the weekend with temperatures near average on Saturday.
