WEST TENNESSEE WEATHER SUMMARY

WEST TENNESSEE WEATHER ONLINE JACKSON TN

6:58 AM CDT Sunday, October 12, 2008

 

.SYNOPSIS

SKIES WERE CLEAR JUST BEFORE SUNRISE ACROSS WEST TENNESSEE. SOME OF THE RIVER BOTTOMS HAD SOME FOG THAT WAS RESTRICTING VISIBILITIES, BUT THIS WAS NOT WIDESPREAD. TEMPERATURE WERE AROUND 60º. THE COOLEST READING AT 6 AM WAS 56º AT SAVANNAH. LITTLE IF ANY WIND WAS NOTED.

A LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OVER NEW YORK STATE WAS STEERING SOME ATLANTIC MOISTURE AND THE REMANTS OF A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WESTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. SATELLITE IMAGES CONTINUE TO SHOW THE INCREASE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE GULF STATES.

.TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY

WE’LL START OFF TODAY WITH SUNNY SKIES BUT I’M EXPECTING INCREASING CLOUDINESS BY AFTERNOON AS THE MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING WORK TOGETHER. NOT LOOKING FOR ANY PRECIPITATION TODAY. COULD SEE SOME SPRINKLES TONIGHT. INSPITE OF THE INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS NOTED FOR COLUMBUS DAY, HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD KEEP THE AREA DRY, EXCEPT MAYBE FOR A RENEGADE SPRINKLE. BY TUESDAY A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BE PRESSING INTO THE REGION AND THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM (20% CHANCE) DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON. 

.WEDNESDAY THORUGH SATURDAY

AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS IT WILL BE THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE THE COLD FRONT CLEARS THE REGION, SO I’M EXPECTING RAIN CHANCES TO BE HIGHER IN WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME (50% CHANCE). THE RAIN CHANCES WILL TAPER OFF ON THURSDAY. BY WEEK’S END, THE UPPER LEVEL WIND FLOW WILL BECOME MORE NORTHWESTERLY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN U.S. THIS WILL GIVE US COOLER/DRIER WEATHER FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND FIRST OF THE WEEKEND. MORE TYPICAL LOWS AND HIGHS BY THE END OF THE WEEK WOULD BE MID-UPPER 40S AND LOWER 70S RESPECTIVELY. WE MAY VERY WELL BE COOLER THAN THAT!
