Lighter Winds Expected Overnight

Weather Update – 11:30 p.m. – Thursday, March 14th

Winds reached peak gusts between 40 and 50 mph in a few parts of West Tennessee this morning and afternoon. Now that the Wind Advisory has expired, the winds will become calmer later tonight into tomorrow morning. Good riddance! We’ve already had multiple reports of wind damage in the area outside of any strong or severe thunderstorms.

TONIGHT
Showers and thunderstorms are now long gone and won’t return for a while. Winds will gradually get calmer later tonight with clear skies! Temperatures could start off in the upper 30s and lower 40s Friday morning.

Breezy conditions are expected tomorrow with winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour from the northwest causing temperatures to feel like the middle 30s in some spots. Expect sunshine to start, followed by partly to mostly cloudy skies at midday on Friday with cooler weather as temperatures will only peak in the lower 50s during the afternoon – 25°F colder than it was on Thursday. We’ve got a nice stretch of dry weather ahead, but it’ll be chilly for the last weekend of Winter.
