We warmed up nicely into the mid 40s today and saw plenty of sunshine, but a weak front is dropping in from the north and will pass by tonight. Highs will only reach the mid 30s on Friday but another warm up is coming this weekend. Showers will return for some of us this weekend and might be saying goodbye to the deep freeze next week as well. Catch the full forecast right here.

THIS WEEK:

The winds shifted back to the south on Wednesday allowing us to reach back up into the mid 30s. Wednesday was still cold and temperatures remained below normal but we were about 10 degrees warmer on Wednesday than we were on Monday or Tuesday. Skies remained mostly sunny on Wednesday and will be clear again Wednesday night. Wednesday night was again cool and we fell down to around 20° for most of the region.

The warm up continued on Thursday with highs reaching the mid 40s. Skies remained mostly sunny and the winds shifted from the south to the northwest late in the evening/night behind the next front. Tonight’s front will be a dry front and will only drop temperatures about 10° from Thursday into the day on Friday. Thursday night lows will again drop down to around 20°.

Friday will be another cold but dry day for all of West Tennessee. Highs on Friday will make it up to the mid to upper 30s but again, we should see a mostly sunny day. The winds on Friday will be light and start out of the northwest before slowly turning to the west into the afternoon. Friday night lows will drop down to the mid 20s but it still will be another cold night.

THE WEEKEND:

The warmest weather in over a week will be returning for the upcoming weekend. Highs will reach the upper 40s to near 50° for both Saturday and Sunday. Clouds will increase as the weekend goes on and we will see cloudy skies for most of the day on Sunday. Cold rain showers will move in on Sunday and although most of us will only see rain, we cannot yet rule out a brief wintry mix or a few snow flurries depending on how early the system shows up on Sunday and how late it lasts Sunday night into Monday morning. Storms are not expected with this round of cold rain showers that will mostly impact our southern counties that border Mississippi. Saturday and Sunday night lows will also determine if we only see rain or any sort of Winter precipitation. As of now, both nights lows are forecast down to the mid 30s, just above freezing. It will be a close call so we will be monitoring the forecast for the weekend lows as the week goes on. The winds are forecast to come out of the southwest on Saturday and out of the southeast for the most part on Sunday.
