Rain Tapers Off In The Early Noon Hours

Saturday Forecast Update for November 5th:

Rain and thunder have moved through this morning with winds up to 51 mph as the storms crossed the Mississippi River. So far there have been no warnings for the area as storms have stayed below severe criteria. The stronger storms have pushed out the area and some lingering showers will hang around through early noon before becoming partly cloudy and cooler into the afternoon.

By the time the sun comes up our severe weather threat will have wrapped up but some heavy rain, lightning and some increased winds will be still possible between 4-8AM as the line quickly tracks to the east.

In addition, a wind advisory will be in effect for all of west Tennessee until 10 am with winds that could gust up to 45 mph even where storms are not located.

Saturday night lows will fall to the mid 40s behind the front but the cool down will be short lived as Sunday night lows will only drop down to around 60°. The winds will start out of the south this weekend before switching to the southwest before the front passes then turn to the northeast early next week behind the system. Most of the rain will move through during the morning hours on Saturday but a few lingering showers cannot be ruled out on Sunday, but overall, Sunday looks to be a pretty quiet and mostly dry day. Here is a look at total rain we can expected across West Tennessee on Saturday.

TODAY:

Rain tapers off by early noon with skies gradually becoming partly cloudy. Cooler temperatures on tap as highs will only reach the upper 60’s.

TONIGHT:

Partly cloudy to mostly clear late. Winds becoming mostly calm with lows down to around 46.

TOMORROW:

Partly cloudy and mild with a cool start to the morning in the mid to upper 40’s and warmer in the afternoon with highs around 75.

NEXT WEEK:

Although a few showers could return into the day on Monday, most of the next week looks to be dry until maybe Thursday night. Highs will stay in the 70s with some upper 70s or low 80s possible in the middle of the week. Mostly sunny skies will linger to start the week as well as some south and easterly winds. Overnight lows will stay up in the mid to upper 50s as it will be quite humid for November.  There could be another chance for rain and storms late next week and will be keeping a close eye on that situation into next week.

FINAL THOUGHT:

All of West Tennessee saw our first frost and freeze earlier in October and more cold spells will be on the way this fall. There currently doesn’t appear to be any snow chances in the upcoming forecast. On top of the colder weather, we sometimes see storms develop in November and we could see more storms again early this weekend. There will also be more chances for severe weather as November is still part of our second severe weather season.
