Next Cold Front Comes Through Tuesday Night

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. – Monday, October 14th

After starting today in the upper 30s, we’ve had a pleasant afternoon in the lower 70s today! We’re looking at a cold front coming in to West Tennessee Tuesday night bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms, but not everyone may get a lot of rain. If, however, you live somewhere between the Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers, you can bet this will bring your temperatures down during the middle of the week!

TONIGHT
Temperatures will be a bit warmer tonight thanks to partly cloudy skies. We’ll still be able to see the nearly full moon overhead but clouds are increasing. Instead of the 30s we began with this morning, we’ll end up starting tomorrow with temperatures in the middle to upper 50s.

Tuesday morning and afternoon will be mostly dry but a cold front will end up moving in after sunset bringing the rain back to West Tennessee. Before then, temperatures will warm up to the middle 70s in the afternoon with breezy winds from the south-southwest. Showers and thunderstorms are most likely after 9pm and before 3am between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. 0.50″ to 1″ of rain is expected for most but some spots may see as much as 1-2″ in those areas that deal with thunderstorms. Colder air will settle in after the front bringing chilly weather to West Tennessee on Wednesday and Thursday.
