Localized High Rain Totals Sunday Morning, Dry For Labor Day

Slow moving showers have brought some places in West Tennessee inches of rain, prompting the National Weather Service to issue Flood Advisories that have since expired. Haywood, Madison, and McNairy counties have some of the highest totals from this system over the last 24 hours.

RAINFALL THIS WEEKEND:

Over the last 24 hours, much of the I-40 corridor has seen inches of rainfall from a slow moving system. Some places west of the Hub City saw as much as 4.4 inches of rain according to radar estimates. Here in Jackson, Stormtracker 7 Max Radar says our total is about 3.75 inches. Also receiving inches of rain was the town of Adamsville, recording close to 2.25 inches on radar.

LABOR DAY:

The ground may be soggy in places, but there won’t be any new rain falling on Monday. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper-80s with some humidity. The early evening hours are looking perfect for cookouts if you want to avoid the worst of the humidity, although the early afternoon won’t be as bad as Sunday.

TUESDAY ONWARD:

Another cold front will push through the area on Tue/Wed. and again the chance for showers and storms will return to the area. Also on the way are below average temperatures. Some highs Thursday may not make it to 80. The temperatures will remain that low into next weekend,

TROPICS:

Two disturbances are on our eye, one that popped up today and the one that we’ve been watching for the past couple days. The new one, along the Gulf Coast, only has a 10% chance of development. It will likely make landfall before developing into a depression, but could still bring high rain totals to the TX/LA coast. The second disturbance has a 40% chance of development, but looks to make landfall in Southern Mexico or Central America. A third disturbance is forecast to move off the African coast into the Atlantic basin on Monday according to the NHC.

Meteorological Fall starts TODAY, Sunday September 1st. Cooler temperatures are on the horizon and we are switching to a La Nina pattern. Enjoy your Labor Day Holiday!
