Showers and Thunderstorms Continue Through Midweek

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Monday, February 10th

Showers have already produced 0.50″ to 1.50″ or more in West Tennessee over the last 36 hours and more is on the way. Rain has already returned to the area for the night with more showers again Tuesday night through Wednesday. Area rivers continue to rise and McNairy and Hardin counties are under a Flood Watch until 9 a.m. Thursday.

TONIGHT
Temperatures will drop to the upper 30s and lower 40s by sunrise Tuesday with rain continuing overnight. Another three quarters of an inch of rain is expected between by daybreak but this time, it’s unlikely that we’ll have much thunder and lightning. If anywhere, those near the Tennessee-Mississippi state line may hear some thunder overnight.

On Tuesday, showers are likeliest early in the morning and later Tuesday evening but not so much in the middle of the day. Under clouds, temperatures will peak in the upper 40s during the afternoon. More heavy rain is expected on Wednesday ahead of a cold front which returns a risk for severe weather to the area. Parts of southwest Tennessee near the Tennessee River are under a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather.
