Warming Up Through the Weekend

Weather Update – 10:15 p.m. – Friday, August 9th

Scattered showers have tapered off this evening but there’s a slight chance for them to return overnight. A boundary that provided enough ingredients for showers and thunderstorms to develop earlier today is stalled out over the area. There’s drier weather coming through this weekend but that will trade for extreme heat next week!

TONIGHT
The chance for rain will continue to diminish overnight and through Saturday morning with drier weather expected by Saturday afternoon and evening. Under partly to mostly cloudy skies, temperatures will drop to the upper 60s and lower 70s by sunrise.

Expect a slight chance for rain tomorrow, with temperatures continuing a warming trend through the weekend. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s on Saturday, but with oppressive humidity those temperatures will feel like 102 degrees at 3 o’clock! The heat will be even worse on Monday with a heat index that could be close to 110°F, perhaps the hottest weather of Summer for parts of West Tennessee.
