Showers and Thunderstorms for Much of Next Week
Weather Update – 10:45 p.m. – Friday, February 28th
Rain showers came through West Tennessee this evening but thankfully, we get a break from the rain for all of Saturday and most of Sunday before the “gates” open again early next week. We’ve had 13.20″ of rain so far in 2020 which is only 1.58″ less than what we had had by this time last year – the 7th wettest year on record.
TONIGHT
Showers are on their way out expected to be mostly gone by midnight. Skies will gradually clear out but dense fog may develop overnight limiting visibility to a mile Saturday morning. Temperatures will drop to the lower 30s by sunrise on Saturday.
After some clouds and fog early on, it looks like tomorrow will be mostly sunny across West Tennessee. Temperatures will warm up to the middle 50s with light and variable winds and no rain. Temperatures Saturday night will only drop to the upper 30s and lower 40s by sunrise Sunday. Though skies may start mostly sunny to partly cloudy Sunday, they’ll gradually become mostly cloudy if not overcast by the evening hours. Despite having less sunshine than tomorrow will, we’ll warm up to the middle and upper 60s that afternoon. Rain returns later in the day on Sunday with showers off-and-on through Wednesday. Some data is suggesting as much a half a foot of rainfall but not all models agree that that will verify.
