Snow Showers are Expected to Move Through West Tennessee Friday Night

Graupel (soft hail/snow pellets) came down this afternoon across sections of West Tennessee and rain is expected to turn over to snow for some of us tonight.  Snow has been falling this evening in locations north of Jackson and snow will begin move into the Hub City after 10 p.m. Most of the region can expect a dusting to a half inch of snow but more could fall in locations near the Kentucky border.

TONIGHT:

Skies will remain mostly cloudy and rain showers could  turn over to some light snow as the night goes on. Most places that see the snow are likely only to see a flurries to a dusting, but some higher amounts closer to the Kentucky border and east of Jackson will be possible. The winds will remain strong at times out of the west and overnight lows will drop down to around 31°.

SATURDAY:

We could see a few lingering flurries early Saturday morning, but don’t count on seeing much. You can count on a cooler weekend though with highs only reaching the low 40s and morning lows around 30°.

SUNDAY:

Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer on Sunday and we are expecting a few peeks of sunshine as well, but overall, it will be a cool day. Highs will only reach the mid 40s.

MLK JR. DAY & NEXT WEEK:

Monday will bring mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid to upper 40s. Winds will be light out of the west. Monday will be the most likely dry day during the week as rain showers look to move back in Tuesday – Thursday.  Highs in Tuesday and Wednesday will be near 50° and temperatures will climb up to near 60° on Thursday.
