Slight Chance for Scattered Rain Showers Overnight

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Monday, November 18th

After only three days with rain so far this November, we still remain over a foot ahead of the year-to-date average of total rainfall in Jackson. A few showers may show up tonight, but the main headlines in today’s forecast focus on the heatwave ahead midweek and the next cold front arriving Thursday night into Friday.

TONIGHT
Mostly cloudy skies are expected overnight, and although most of the Mid-South will remain dry, there’s a 20% chance for a stray shower overnight. Rain will leave before sunrise Tuesday morning, when temperatures are expected to start out in the lower 40s. Tonight will be the first time since the day before Halloween that we’ve had an overnight low temperature warmer than the 30s.

After starting out in the lower 40s tomorrow, temperatures will peak in the lower 60s during the afternoon! Expect mostly clear to partly cloudy skies on Tuesday with cloudier skies over northwest Tennessee near the Tennessee River. Even warmer weather is ahead Wednesday with highs in the upper 60s. Rain arrives on Thursday morning but may not leave until before sunrise Saturday.
