Showers and Thunderstorms Linger into the Early Evening

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. – Monday, July 22nd

Showers and thunderstorms have completely left West Tennessee for the rest of the night after producing heavy rain and frequent lightning in some areas this afternoon. Now a cold front will move through West Tennessee bring some of the coolest weather we’ve had since Spring to the area! Temperatures will be lower and the humidity will be more bearable than it’s been for the last couple of months as temperatures will mimic the beginning of Fall and may make you forget it’s still July!

TONIGHT
Rain showers and drizzle will gradually dissipate by midnight tonight as the oncoming cold front makes its way through West Tennessee. Mostly cloudy skies will gradually become clearer by Tuesday morning with temperatures that will be the coolest they’ve been all month when they reach the lower to middle 60s by sunrise!

Mostly sunny skies are forecast tomorrow with breezy winds from the north at 10 to 15 miles per hour. It’ll be less humid on Tuesday than it has been for most of the month with highs near 80°F. Enjoy! There’s a chance for us to see temperatures drop to the upper 50s by sunrise on Wednesday morning – the coolest weather we’ve had since mid-June and temperatures that are more typical for the middle of September.
