Sprinkles, Sleet, And To Warm For Problems

Sunday Evening Forecast Update:

A Look At The Weather Broadcast From Sunday Evening With Meteorologist Brian Davis:

TONIGHT:

A few areas of light rain are moving through this evening as we are stuck on the north end of a stalled out cold front. Occasionally we have been seeing some sleet pellets mix in due to the colder air working into the mid levels but temperatures are to warm at the surface for any problems.

Here is a look at the current radar loop:

We’ll continue to have some of this activity into early tonight at times but again, temperatures are completely to warm and is the ground for any problems but it does remind us we are barely out of Winter and early into Spring!

Cloud cover through parts of the overnight should help keep the temperatures a bit warmer than last night but we’ll approach the mid 30’s by sunrise in the morning. Skies will alternate at times from partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with light north winds around 5 to 10 mph.

TOMORROW:

Tomorrow will be much like Sunday was with a clearer start to the day but more clouds and slight chances of sprinkles returning late day. Highs will reach around 62 in the afternoon with light ENE winds around 8 mph.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE:

Monday night will bring partly cloudy skies with lows around 47 degrees. Tuesday will be cloudier with mostly cloudy skies and a few showers in the morning and again around sunset but high temperatures will get to close to 80 degrees Tuesday afternoon! Tuesday night will bring cloudy skies and mild lows around 62 and Wednesday will be our next good chance of rain. We’ll have to watch the late afternoon and evening Wednesday for the slight risk of severe weather as highs go to the upper 70’s and showers and storms move in the late afternoon.

A few lingering showers into Thursday morning before clearing out and cooling down in the afternoon with highs around 60. Friday looks to be one of the better days ahead but it will be cool under the mostly sunny skies around 65. A few showers Saturday in the lower 60’s. Sunday looks dry and cool with the mid 50’s.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Spring has officially kicked off here in West Tennessee, but we could see more rounds of winter precipitation or another freeze in the next couple of weeks. There will be more chances for severe weather though as we get deeper into Spring. So you need to stay weather aware to changing weather patterns and monitor the forecasts closely.
