Rainy Forecast for Friday Evening

Weather Update – 10:30 p.m. – Wednesday, October 23rd

After a chilly morning in West Tennessee I hope you had a chance to enjoy the beautiful afternoon! Patchy frost was reported in portions of Madison County early today, but for most, it was too warm for frost to form. A warming trend is expected to take us through the next 24 hours before we see a drop in temperature on Friday and a sharp increase in the chance for rain. If you had any plans to spend time outside on Friday or Saturday, pay close attention to this forecast!

TONIGHT
Another clear and cool night is expected for West Tennessee! Temperatures will drop to the lower and middle 40s by sunrise Thursday with light winds making tomorrow morning slightly warmer than it was today. It’ll be too warm for a frost to form tonight.

Mostly sunny skies are in the forecast again tomorrow with temperatures expected to reach the lower 70s in the afternoon. Enjoy it, because some high school football games have been moved to Thursday night with a wet forecast for Friday. Heavy showers will be possible to end the week! Excessive rainfall may lead to flash flooding Friday night through Saturday morning. As much as 1-4″ of rain may fall with isolated totals of higher amounts.
