Scattered Showers and Stray Storms Start the Weekend

Weather Update – 10:15 p.m. – Thursday, January 16th

After more than an inch of rain fell last night in parts of southwest Tennessee, we have showers returning tomorrow afternoon and evening. A warm front is scheduled to pass over the Mid-South tomorrow followed quickly by a cold front continuing our chance for rain into the weekend. Get ready for even colder air to follow that front into early next week!

TONIGHT
Under mostly cloudy to overcast skies, temperatures will drop to the lower and middle 30s by sunrise. Winds will continue out of the northeast overnight at 5 to 10 miles per hour giving us a wind chill in the middle 20s Friday morning.

Then, after feeling like we’ve started in the 20s tomorrow, temperatures will warm up into the upper 40s and lower 50s in the afternoon. Windy conditions will make it feel like the lower to middle 40s at best. Scattered showers are possible Friday afternoon and evening as a warm front moves into the region. Temperatures will continue to warm up overnight Friday into Saturday morning. Showers will start between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Saturday and should taper off between 9 a.m. and noon. Thunderstorms are unlikely, but temperatures will drop over 30 degrees from Saturday to Sunday morning.
