Wind Chills in the Teens Friday Morning

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Thursday, November 7th

Winds were gusting to between 20 and 30 miles per hour in West Tennessee this afternoon after Jackson saw over ¾” of rain today. The rain is gone but temperatures are already near freezing in northwest Tennessee with this strong cold front bringing arctic air to the area. We have another front coming on Veterans Day that will likely bring even colder air!

TONIGHT
These gusty winds will slowly taper off this evening and clouds will gradually clear out too leading to mostly clear to partly cloudy skies Friday morning. Temperatures will drop to the middle and upper 20s by sunrise but north winds around 10 miles per hour will make it feel like the upper teens in some spots tomorrow morning – get ready for a January-like day!

Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy tomorrow, but even with sunshine, it’ll be a very cold day. Temperatures will only peak in the middle 40s tomorrow afternoon! For those attending high school football playoff games, temperatures will be below freezing for most of the game Friday night, so pack the parka! We’ll warm up with a dry weekend ahead but an even colder blast of arctic air is set to arrive next week. Monday brings the potential for rain and even a wintry mix so stay tuned to WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News for the latest forecast, and keep up with Storm Team Weather online too for more updates.
