Flakes May Fly but Few May Stick Thursday Morning

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Wednesday, February 19th

Sunshine was a welcome sight across West Tennessee today! Temperatures warmed up to the lower 50s this afternoon, but we are far from experiencing the coldest air of the week yet. Temperatures could be 10°F colder tomorrow afternoon with a chance for rain and snow in the morning.

TONIGHT
Skies will remain cloudy tonight under overcast skies. Showers are forecast to build north into southwest Tennessee early Thursday morning but the best chance for any precipitation in West Tennessee will be along south of I-40 after daybreak. Temperatures will start in the middle to upper 30s tomorrow.

Rain showers are likeliest in southwest Tennessee after sunrise Thursday morning but snow will mix in with rain between between 6 a.m. and 9 o’clock. Briefly, heavy snow could fall between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. resulting in light accumulations, especially on lawns and elevated surfaces like decks, tree branches and car roofs. Ground temperatures are currently around 44°F so snow is unlikely to stick to asphalt. Roads are not expected to be icy Thursday, only wet. Temperatures will warm up to the lower 40s tomorrow but winds will make it feel like the lower 30s. Wind chills Friday morning will end up in the middle teens and actual temperatures may only be slightly warmer than that on Saturday morning!
