More Rain Expected Wednesday Evening

Weather Update – 10:15 p.m. – Tuesday

Showers were light and isolated at best for most of West Tennessee this afternoon, but our pattern of wet weather is expected to last all week long. We’ll get some much needed breaks of sunshine on Wednesday but a feature moving through West Tennessee Wednesday night into Thursday, and another on Friday will bring another 0.50″ to 1.50″ of rain between now and the weekend. We’ve already had 29″ of rain so far this year, and our normal year to date rainfall is 16.83″.

TONIGHT
Under mostly clear skies, temperatures will drop to the upper 40s and lower 50s by sunrise Wednesday. Patchy fog is possible tomorrow morning, but is unlikely to be as dense or widespread as it was this morning.

Wednesday will largely start mostly sunny, but once we reach high temperatures close to 70°F during the afternoon, scattered showers will return. The chance for rain will start to increase during the afternoon and evening, and more rain is looking likely tomorrow night too. The chance for rain will continue throughout Thursday and Friday, but there’s drier weather ahead to end the month! We’ll finally get back close to the 80°F mark early next week as we head into a new month.
