Soggy Weekend Ahead of Veteran’s Day, Sunshine on the Holiday

We aren’t done with rain in West Tennessee just yet. There is another round of showers coming this weekend that could bring even more rain than we saw earlier this week. Also, we have an update on your Veteran’s Day forecast. All of that is coming up right here.

This Weekend:

This weekend looks to have some showers lasting from Saturday through Sunday night. Some areas could see totals of an additional 2.5-3 inches of rain between now and Monday morning. The European model is expecting some 3-4 inches in the heart of West Tennessee between Bolivar and Camden and still northeast into Middle Tennessee and Central Kentucky. Models do not yet agree on where the heaviest bands will set up this weekend. The American model, the GFS, shows the heaviest rains about 40 miles east of the European. Thunderstorms are not expected at this time.

Veteran’s Day (Monday):

Sunny, calm, and a nice temperature are excellent conditions to celebrate our Veterans. Roads may have some standing water from the rains over the weekend. Aside from that, conditions for parades and cookouts will be near perfect. Highs region wide will be in the low 70s, though the air may be a little sticky from evaporating rain water.

Tuesday:

Tuesday will be much of the same as Monday, though temperatures may be a degree or two cooler.

Wednesday:

Wednesday is the next shot at some rain for West Tennessee. These showers will be much less widespread than the showers this weekend as of the latest guidance, but still enough to warrant about a 40% chance of some showers for your location.

Final Thoughts:

Just as a reminder, as we move from Fall to Winter, the pattern will become a little more unsettled. Expect an uptick in showers and storms over the course of the season compared to the last several weeks. As always, Storm Team 7 will provide the latest forecast for you here in West Tennessee.
