Wind Chills in the Lower Twenties Tonight

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Wednesday, February 26th

Wind chills are currently at 26.7°F in Jackson – far from being some of the coldest weather of the Winter, but it was cold nonetheless! In fact, the coldest wind chill we’ve had over the last four months was twelve days after Halloween!

TONIGHT
It’ll be a cold and breezy night with wind chills in the lower 20s early Thursday. Actual temperatures will drop to the middle and upper 20s tomorrow morning with skies gradually becoming clearer overnight.

Mostly sunny skies are in tomorrow’s forecast, but it’ll be a brisk day overall. Expect west winds at 5 to 15 miles per hour to make it feel like the 30s all day tomorrow, but actual temperatures will warm up to the middle and upper 40s in the afternoon. There’s plenty of warm weather in the long-range forecast as we head into March next week, but it looks likely that rain will return as early as Monday and there could be a lot of it through next Wednesday! Two long range forecast models we use in the Storm Team Weather Center show 2-7″ of rain falling with the highest totals in northwest Tennessee.
