Weather Update: 8:00 AM, Tuesday March 12 —

We start this Tuesday on a chilly note with temperatures generally in the lower 40s this morning. Clouds are already increasing and thickening up. Unfortunately that means there wont be much if any sun today. However, with the main upper level flow changing from the south and heights already responding to the new system developing in the Plains, it will be warmer overall today. There is a slug of moisture on the nose of the increasing moisture aloft that has produced showers across the eat Plains into Arkansas, this area will pass at least partially through West Tennessee. This will produce a few light showers mainly this afternoon. Host short-term guidance don’t produce widespread precipitation, and it should remain light where it does rain.
