A much cool day is in store tomorrow after this afternoon’s cold front. Highs should be remaining in the mid 30’s, just barely above freezing.

By Saturday morning, mostly sunny skies should remain and southerly flow should return. This should leave us with highs in the lower to mid 40’s over the day. Overnight, lows should remain in the mid 20’s with mostly clear skies continuing but winds could begin to pick up in speed. By Sunday, 50’s return to West Tennessee with the sunshine continuing.

Showers continue Wednesday, bringing more of a punch than Tuesday. Highs should reach into the upper 50’s with lows in the mid 40’s.
