Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. Thursday

Temperatures will only drop to the middle 60s by Friday morning as our warm and muggy weather continues! Skies will stay cloudy overnight with a 60% chance for scattered rain in West Tennessee mainly after midnight and continuing into Friday morning. Some storms could be strong overnight in northwest Tennessee but the overall risk for severe weather is low.

We’ll be dodging scattered showers and thunderstorms early Friday as the incoming cold front moves into the region, though highs will be either in the upper 60s or lower 80s depending on where you are! Most of West Tennessee is under a marginal risk for severe weather tomorrow too with the front stalling out over the area briefly giving us a small potential for large hail and strong wind gusts with any thunderstorms that develop.

Expect it to be another warm and humid night tomorrow night with a chance for rain continuing into the evening hours during Week 1 of High School football playoff games. We’ll be closely watching the chance for thunderstorms at that time as well, which will remain a possibility. Over the weekend, our temperatures could reach 80°F or warmer in more of West Tennessee. Our record high on Sunday is 81°F and that’s also our current forecast high! The cold front will come back next week bringing the cooler weather by the middle of the first full week of November.
