TONIGHT:
The sun returned on Friday but the temperatures remained chilly. We only made it up to the reach up to the mid 30s in the afternoon. The reason we will not warm up much is because the winds stayed out of the north on the back side of the system. Friday night lows will dip into the low 20s again tonight.
THE WEEKEND:
As of now the weekend looks dry across West Tennessee. We should see mostly cloudy skies on Saturday as southeast winds will return but that will also help us warm up to the upper 40s to near 50° into the afternoon. Saturday night lows will drop into the mid 30s and we should finally warm back up above normal on Sunday with highs reaching the mid 50s. Sunday night lows will fall down to around 40°. Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies this weekend and the winds will come out of the south or southwest. Next week looks to start out warm and rain chances look to return by next Tuesday.
NEXT WEEK:
We are looking at a very warm start to next week with highs up around 60° for Monday and Tuesday. Clouds will be off and on during the day on Monday but the rain is expected to hold off until Tuesday afternoon. The rain will likely continue into the day on Wednesday but the temperature will remain in the low 60s. Thursday temperatures will also stay around 60° and that might usher in a chance for some storms as well. We could see a few storms mixing on in Tuesday night also and we will be keeping a close eye on that situation over the weekend. Monday night lows will only fall down to around 50° and Tuesday night lows will drop into the upper 40s. The winds will come out of the south early in the week before transitioning back to the northwest maybe late in the week depending on it the next front stalls out or not. Cooler weather looks to return on Friday to West Tennessee.
FINAL THOUGHT:
After the coldest Christmas in decades here in West Tennessee, warmer weather returned for the start of the new year, but some cooler weather will move in to wrap up the month and stick around into February. The next chance for rain and storms is coming this next week No winter storms are currently in the forecast.
