Slight Chance for Rain Tonight and Tomorrow Morning

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Wednesday, March 4th

After confirming an EF-2 tornado in Carroll county and an EF-2 tornado in Benton county yesterday, the National Weather Service has just completed surveying damage in Gibson County today from what has been rated an EF-1 tornado that took place Monday night. This was from the same thunderstorm that moved through four separate counties producing a long track of damage. Here’s a look at what we know so far:

TONIGHT
Light, scattered showers will be possible this evening and overnight mainly across parts of West Tennessee south of Interstate 40. Under cloudy skies, temperatures will drop to the upper 30s and lower 40s by sunrise Thursday.

After a slight chance for rain tomorrow morning, skies will become clear over West Tennessee. It should be a beautiful day on Thursday with light winds and highs in the middle 60s in the afternoon. If no rain is recorded tonight or tomorrow, we could see this being the start of a 5-day stretch without rain! That would b make it the first time since from January 5th to 9th that we had a stretch that long.
