Scattered Thunderstorms Over the Weekend

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. – Friday, September 11th

West Tennessee has stayed dry today but scattered showers are more likely on Saturday and Sunday. Be prepared for downpours and frequent lightning over the weekend! The risk for severe weather is low but there’s a potential for localized flash flooding because most storms will only be moving at 10-20 mph.

TONIGHT
We’ll be mostly dry overnight through Saturday morning. At the coolest point of the night, we’ll just barely reach the upper 60s. Patchy dense fog is possible early tomorrow but clouds will be moving in through sunrise.

Temperatures will peak in the middle to upper 80s tomorrow but it will feel like the lower to middle 90s during the afternoon so stay cool! Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms from the later morning through evening. Some rain could be heavy at times causing localized flash flooding but a risk for severe weather is low. There’s a new tropical system I’m tracking in the Atlantic Ocean that could reach the Gulf Coast on Monday!
