Storm Team Weather,

Weather Update – 4:00 PM – Saturday, July 3

HURRICANE SEASON UPDATE:

While hurricane season started on June 1st, the first hurricane of the season formed Friday morning- Hurricane Elsa . While right now, it is well into the Atlantic and hard to see track patterns, it should steer clear of West Tennessee. The intensity and track forecasts will become a little more clear after it passes over some of the Caribbean islands and grows closer to the Gulf.

TODAY:

We started off on the cooler side, with lows in the 60’s. Since then, we have warmed up an sunshine has made an appearance. We should continue to see clear skies this evening as we drop into the upper 50’s to lower 60’s for a low. Winds from the north should help to rule out a large chance of humidity as well.

TOMORROW:

Into tomorrow, similar conditions remain. Sunny skies are expected with highs in the mid 80’s. Winds shift to the south and humidity will slowly enter the region. Lows should drop into the mid to upper 60’s. However, most clouds should stay out the way for any fourth of July activities planned that evening. Clouds should remain fairly high up and we should continue to see mostly clear skies overnight.
