From Frosty Cold Tonight To Warmer Late Week

A Freeze Warning  will take effect for most of West Tennessee after midnight tonight, and the rest of West Tennessee will be under a Frost Advisory. A high pressure system will allow temperatures to rebound quickly back into the 60s. For Easter Sunday, we could see temps climb into the low 80s. Expect another slight cooldown with some showers after the holiday. We’ll have the latest right here.

The more stable pattern will start us off with colder weather but as the high pressure continues to build in and center more over us, We’ll start to moderate some late week as a return flow of more southerly breezes kicks in. This pattern will set the stage for a warmer and dry pattern for Easter weekend.

TONIGHT:

A Freeze Warning and Frost Advisory are in effect overnight from 3:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. Thursday morning. Clear skies will continue into tonight. As the atmosphere over us levels out more from that tight pressure gradient of yesterday, Winds will start to calm down overnight. Winds will drop down to around 5 mph from the north and temperatures will drop into the mid 30’s.  Patchy frost will likely develop from 4 am through 9 am in the morning so be sure to cover tender plants ahead.

TOMORROW:

Temperatures will be warmer tomorrow. Highs up to 65 under sunny skies and light west winds 3 to 5 mph.

TOMORROW NIGHT:

Tomorrow night will be a chilly night, but should be nowhere near close enough for frost to develop overnight as lows will fall to the middle to low 40s across the region.

Thursday will bring the start of the warming trend as we’ll continue on with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 60s.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK:

Good Friday will bring sunshine and highs around the low 70s. Saturday looks much warmer with highs around the mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. A partly sunny sky for Easter Sunday with highs at or above 80 degrees! Rain looks to hold off until around Tuesday of next week, and models suggest it will be light and scattered.
