THIS WEEK:

Another cold front passed Monday night and brought cooler weather with it. It also brought a few snow flurries with it to counties to the northeast of Madison in West Tennessee. Accumulations didn’t happen though and the closer you were to the Kentucky Lake area the more likely chance you encountered some of the flurries. The parade in Jackson was very cold and the holiday celebrations on Thursday in Humboldt have been postponed due to the cold weather coming!

Lows Monday night feel down to the low to mid 20s. We were close to some teens in our northern counties but there is a better chance for some teens showing up Thursday night into Friday morning. Skies were partly cloudy Monday night before clearing out by Tuesday afternoon making for a sunny day. The winds came out of the north and stay around 5-10 MPH most of the day Tuesday but will change back to the south overnight into Wednesday morning and be a bit breezy at times. The wind chill Tuesday morning felt in the teens for everyone and it will be another chilly night Tuesday night but the wind chill should stay in the low 20s.

Tuesday highs only reached up to around 40° but we did see plenty of sunshine. The winds were light out of the north on Tuesday between 5-10 MPH and will be calm in the evening. Tuesday night will again be cold with lows falling down to the mid 20s by midnight before slowly warming into the morning from the return of the southwest winds. The overnight lows will happen around midnight in West Tennessee. The winds will shift back to the southwest on Wednesday and that will try to warm us up some into the afternoon. Highs on Wednesday will reach the low to mid 50s. There is a low pressure system coming up from the south and a late cold front that could bring a few showers to our southern counties in the afternoon and evening on Wednesday. If you live along the Mississippi border you will have a much better chance of seeing a few showers than if you live north of Madison County. Wednesday night lows will fall down to the low 30s.

Behind Wednesday’s front, even colder weather will be on the way. If you didn’t fall down to the teens Tuesday morning, you probably will on Friday morning. Thursday highs will only make it to the mid to upper 30s from the brisk northerly wind. We should see the sun dominate most of the day on Thursday but it will be cold all day long. High temperatures will try to warm up a bit on Friday but not much. The winds will still come out of the north most of the day allowing highs to only reach the low 40s. Friday night lows will fall down to the mid 20s and expect mostly sunny skies on Friday.

THE WEEKEND:

This weekend we are going to see a little bit of a warm up due to the winds returning back to the south and southwest. Highs on Saturday will reach the low 50s and Sunday night will make it back up above normal for the first time in a while up to the upper 50s. Saturday night will be warm and drop down to around 50°. This will be from the southerly winds and increase in the dew point from some moisture streaming up from the south. The next system will come through on Sunday and bring a round of rain showers with it. There is a chance for a few storms to mix in but there appears to be a better chance for thunderstorms on Monday as the next system passes by. There is a chance for some severe weather on Monday so we will be watching that closely as the week goes by. Expect a partly cloudy day on Saturday, mostly cloudy day on Sunday and cloudy skies for next Monday.
