Spring-like Temperatures Long Gone by Friday Morning

Weather Update – 11:30 p.m. – Thursday, February 7th

Showers will continue to linger for a little while longer in parts of West Tennessee near the Tennessee river but should finally leave the area completely within the hour. Some pockets of sleet may briefly mix in but aren’t expected to last long enough or be heavy enough to lead to any significant hazards. Temperatures will begin to drop below freezing after midnight in Jackson.

Winds should help water to evaporate off of roads before any freezing can take place. Plus, ground temperatures are in the middle 50s, so it wouldn’t be until Friday morning that any freezing would take place if water was still on roads. Our overnight lows are forecast to reach the lower and middle 20s with wind chills in the lower to middle teens – Winter is back!

Wind chills in the teens and temperatures in the 20s tomorrow morning will only get a little bit warmer in the afternoon under mostly sunny skies. At the very warmest point of the day, we’ll still only reach the middle to upper 30s on Friday. Clear skies will gradually become cloudier on Saturday with rain returning on Sunday and there could be a lot of it! Showers are forecast to fall from Sunday through early Tuesday.
