Cold but Clear Start to the Weekend

Weather Update – 10:15 p.m. – Friday, February 21st

Temperatures started in the lower 20s this morning, but the wind made it feel so much worse – 9.2°F was the wind chill at 5:45 a.m. today. Another cold night is ahead but we’ll be getting warmer over the weekend. Enjoy the sunshine tomorrow, rain returns Sunday!

TONIGHT
Get ready for a cold night again with clear skies overhead! Thankfully, winds will be less problematic but temperatures will drop to the upper teens and lower 20s by sunrise Saturday so expect a cold night anyway.

Sunny skies are forecast for Saturday with highs in the middle 50s. Clouds will increase tomorrow evening so that we’ll end up with lows in the lower 30s Sunday morning. Rain showers return after noon on Sunday but will likely spread across the area overnight. There’s a chance for a few isolated thunderstorms on Monday with a small amount of energy in the atmosphere but the threat for severe weather remains low. We’re getting more confidence that Wednesday will feature a wintry mix of rain and snow in parts of West Tennessee, so stay with WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News for the latest forecast and keep up with Storm Team Weather online too for more updates.
