Rain & Storms Through Wednesday, Nicer Weather Starting Thursday
Tuesday Night Forecast Update
Tuesday Night Forecast Update for October 5th:
Showers and a few rumbles of thunder continue tonight for portions of West Tennessee. Rain chances linger overnight and some weak storms and showers will return to the region on Wednesday. The good news is the rain will move out early Thursday and we will see a nice finish to the week. Warmer and dry weather is expected for Friday, but will the nice weather last into the weekend? Catch your full forecast right here.
TONIGHT:
Skies will remain mostly cloudy and the winds will go calm as the night goes on. Lingering showers will pop up and chances for rain are are around 70% overnight. Temperatures will drop down to the low 60s for most of West Tennessee. Some weak storms could mix in with some of the rain showers.
WEDNESDAY:
Some isolated shower activity is expected to linger around the low pressure system on Wednesday. The rain will NOT be as heavy or as widespread as it will be on Tuesday, but rain chances still sit around 40% for most of the region. Highs will make it into the upper 70s and the winds are expected to come out of the southeast by the afternoon. Low will drop down to the low 60s by Thursday morning.
THURSDAY:
Most of the showers from the stalled out system will clear out on Wednesday but a few could linger into the first half of the day on Thursday, but I wouldn’t count on seeing much. Skies will start out mostly to partly cloudy but should clear out as the day goes on. Highs on Thursday are expected to reach the upper 70s or low 80s depending on the amount of afternoon sunshine that you see. Winds are expected to come out of the west and that will help push the stalled out low away from West Tennessee. Lows will fall down to the low 60s by Friday morning.
FRIDAY:
The weather looks fantastic for Friday across the area with highs expected to reach the low 80s. Mostly sunny skies are likely and the winds will come out of the southwest. The weather for Friday night football looks great with temperatures forecast to be in the 70s during the games and rain showers are currently not in the forecast. Lows Friday night will dip down to the low 60s again.
THE WEEKEND:
Mostly sunny skies, dry and amazing weather is expected to move in for the weekend. Highs will reach the mid 80s with overnight lows falling into the mid 60s. The winds are expected to be light and come out of the south. Rain is not likely, so we are NOT expecting any cancellation of outdoor events or celebrations like we saw the previous weekend. Enjoy a tremendous weekend folks, you deserve it!
