Temperatures will remain cold all week and weekend long and likely into next week as well here in West Tennessee. Please remember to leave your pipes dripping if you have had plumbing issues in the past. Please bring in your pets and do not leave them outside. Please bundle up in winter gear, hats and gloves and winter coats if you are heading out or sending the little ones out for any reason! The main roads are not too bad but still look out for some slick and icy spots. The back roads will keep snow on them through the weekend.

THIS WEEK:
Wednesday temperatures remained cold and again only reached the mid 30s. We did see mostly sunny skies on Wednesday and the winds were light out of the north. The wind chill again made it feel in the 20s most of the day and Wednesday night lows is where we bottomed out for the current cold spell. Temperatures fell into the mid to upper teens Wednesday night with the wind chill hanging around 10° for Thursday morning. Highs on Thursday reached the mid 30s but fall below freezing Thursday night into the upper 20s by the morning.

Snow moved in late Thursday night coming up from the southwest. There was a brief wintry mix from the system south of Madison county, but the strong bought all snow to most of us.  Snow totals were as high as 6-8″ with some as low as 3-4″.  The snow wrapped up by Friday evening but it will be sticking around on the ground through the weekend into next week. Please do not travel unless it is an emergency of you are an essential working Friday night or Saturday. Roads will be snow packed and slick. Travel could be extremely difficult in some of the more rural areas.

THE WEEKEND:

The snow coming in on Friday is forecast to move out by the time the sun comes up on Saturday. But it will be too cold Saturday to melt any of the snow that we will be receiving on Friday. Highs on Saturday will reach the mid 30s but we should warm to the upper 30s to near 40° on Sunday that could lead to some of the snow telling to begin to melt. Both weekend nights we are expecting the overnight temperatures to again fall into the low to mid 20s. The clouds will likely hang around most of the day on Saturday before clearing out Saturday night into the day on Sunday. The winds will come out of the west on Saturday as the system moves out and try to turn to the southwest on Sunday before the next front comes in early next week! Highs next week will only reach the upper 30s with morning lows hanging around the upper teens to the mid 20s. Stay warm folks!
