Weather Update: 10:45 PM Saturday
A few spotty sprinkles are across West Tennessee this afternoon, no widespread activity though. Tonight the chance for rain starts to increase the closer we get to the midnight hour. Overnight we could see a stray shower but by Sunday morning we will have the best chance for rain showers. Temps stay mild as the frontal system remains stalled across the region. Overnight lows are only expected to fall into the upper 50s and low 60s.
Tomorrow we are looking at the chance for more rain across the area and maybe even an isolated thunderstorm. Afternoon high temperatures are expecting to stay mild to end the weekend. Although we aren’t expecting to get quite as warm, we do keep temps mainly in the mid 60s. This is still above average for the last month of winter. Once the cold front pushes in Sunday night, the rain will start to tapper off and cooler air will replace it. Overnight lows on Sunday night are looking to fall back into the low to mid 40s.
Temperatures by Monday are back into the low 50s. For the most part we are looking to stay rain-free across West Tennessee for Monday. We might even get a glimpse of some sunshine but not ruling out a stray sprinkle. As, we get into Tuesday though clouds build back into West Tennessee and the chance for rain returns Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
Wednesday will be a wet day for West Tennessee. Temperatures behind this frontal system are expecting to drop Thursday morning lows back near the freezing mark. We will have to watch to see how fast the cold air moves into West Tennessee because it might change the rain into snow on the back side of that system. But it is still a few days out and models aren’t completely in agreement so this is still subject to change. Stay with the VIPIR 7 Storm Team for the latest updates!
High pressure will build back in by Thursday and temps remain slightly below seasonal to end the week.
