Setting Up for a Nice Start to the Weekend

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. Thursday

Most of the rain has tapered off but skies may remain partly cloudy for some areas overnight. Expect partly cloudy conditions to continue with light winds from the southwest and temperatures bottoming out in the upper 60s and lower 70s at the coolest point of the night. Patchy areas of fog will develop early Friday.

The next cold front coming on Friday will have some energy to work with so we’re monitoring the risk for severe weather. Right now only a small part of southwest Tennessee is in a marginal (1 out of 5) risk zone but that could end up getting changed.

Either way this cold front will bring better weather for the start of the weekend! Temperatures will start out in the upper 50s and lower 60s during the mornings and warm up to the mid 80s during the afternoons. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will return on Sunday and continue off-and-on for most of next week.
