Snow and Single Digit Wind Chills Tonight

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. – Tuesday, January 28th

Despite the sunshine, we stayed at or below the freezing mark in most of our viewing area on Tuesday. Under sunny skies, temperatures only warmed up to the lower and middle 30s for most areas of West Tennessee. This is only the beginning of the extremely cold weather forecast for midweek because another cold front is coming tonight.

TONIGHT
Clear skies will gradually become cloudy as another cold front moves through West Tennessee tonight. The air will be cold enough for light snow to fall with some areas in northwest Tennessee possible seeing a dusting in the morning. Significant accumulation isn’t likely but whatever falls will stick to the ground because of how cold temperatures are now. Ultimately, it’s going to be a freezing cold night no matter what falls with temperatures dropping to the teens with wind chills in the single digits at sunrise.

Partly cloudy skies may start the day but sunshine should return in the later morning or afternoon. Temperatures will only warm up to the 20s tomorrow and it’ll feel like the teens at that point so put on your heavy winter coat before you head out! Even colder weather is expected Wednesday night, so stay with WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News for the latest on that forecast, and keep up with Storm Team Weather Online too for more updates.
