Lows Thursday night will drop into the upper 40s again.
FRIDAY:
Clouds will stick around for the first half of the day on Friday and rain showers will also be sticking around into the morning. As the day goes on the showers are expected to move out and clouds will follow later on during the night. Highs on Friday will only make it up to the upper 50s depending on how long the clouds stick around for and if we see any breaks in the afternoon. We are expecting the rain to linger around for some of the Friday Night Football games but it is going to be close. On the backside of the system breezy west winds will be likely and it could be gusty at times in the afternoon and evening hours. Friday night overnight temperatures are expected to fall down to around 50°.
HALLOWEEN WEEKEND:
Breezy northwest winds will stick around for the first half of the day on Saturday as the low pressure continues to track away from West Tennessee. We will see partly cloudy skies for most of the day but we could see a mostly sunny afternoon and evening depending on how fast the system moves off to the east. Highs on Saturday will reach the low to mid 60s and the weather should be quite nice for the end of October. Trick-O-Treaters on Saturday night will have temperatures in the low to mid 50s but it could be a bit breezy.
Sunday morning lows will fall down to the mid 40s. Halloween weather looks to be pretty nice as of now for West Tennessee. Highs on Sunday will make it up near 70° and mostly sunny skies should hang around for the majority of us. The winds will be light out of the west or southwest on Sunday. Trick-O-Treaters on Sunday night will have temperatures in the mid 50s. Rain is not expected this weekend but we will be keeping a close eye on the forecast this week as the weekend approaches.
NEXT WEEK:
Monday should start of warm and dry with mostly sunny skies in the morning. As the day goes on clouds are expected to increase and we could see some showers returning overnight into Tuesday morning. A better chance for rain will return on Tuesday and should linger into the first half of the day on Wednesday. The winds will stay out of the north as we start the week and that should keep high temperatures in the upper 60s. A few low 70s could be possible on Monday. Overnight lows next week look to be in the mid to upper 40s for the first half of the week. Some stronger storms could be possible on Tuesday as the cold front passes by and is something we will be watching closely in the Storm Team Weather Center over the weekend.
