Heat Advisory in Effect Through Wednesday Evening

Weather Update – 10:45 p.m. – Monday, August 19th

The stifling humidity continues tonight, with temperatures in the 70s still feeling like the 80s in West Tennessee. A heat advisory remains in effect for the area through Wednesday evening with a potential for the next two afternoons to feature similarly hot, if not hotter, weather than we had today.

TONIGHT
Temperatures will only drop to the lower and middle 70s by sunrise under partly cloudy skies that clear out in the morning. Scattered showers are looking more likely tomorrow and later this week but tonight will be rain-free.

Another hot and humid day is in store for the region on Tuesday with a temperature in the middle 90s that could feel like over 105°F during the afternoon. The hottest weather will be between 11am and 6pm. Towards the end of the afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible so be on the lookout for isolated downpours. The data continues to illustrate a long, broken line of thunderstorms trying to make its way into West Tennessee from the north Tuesday evening. There’s a marginal risk for one or two strong thunderstorms in that area, so stay with WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News for the latest forecast and keep up with Storm Team Weather online too for more updates.
