Good evening, folks! I hope you enjoyed the beautiful sunset. People are sharing all sorts of pictures on my Facebook page. The combination of a front passing through, some clearing sky to our west, and a perfectly-timed setting sun all combined to give some of you some very cool colors this evening.
Now that the front has passed through the area, some cooler air is filtering in, as well as partly cloudy skies. Look for overnight lows to fall to near 50°. This will create conditions favorable for dense fog, and the NWS Nashville has now issued a dense fog advisory until 8:00 a.m. Thursday. Be safe if out driving tonight or Thursday morning.
And to give you a heads up….temps are trending colder for the weekend. We may struggle to get into the lower 50s for highs on Saturday, followed by overnight lows in the upper 20s. Our first freeze of the season is looking likely for Saturday night.
We’ll remain weather aware for the low-end threat for a damaging wind gust, but the tornado threat has been dropped. We’re just too cloudy, rainy, and cool for that level of threat. Still, a storm could produce a damaging wind gust, though that threat is also very low. I’ll keep an eye on things! I’m just thankful for the much-needed rainfall.
The graphics have been updated below, with much of this post being the same as this morning’s update.
This graphic has been updated to reflect the lack of a tornado threat today.
We’re moving in the right direction!
MM’s Wx Analysis
Today’s weather map shows a big storm system moving through the country, with lots of showers and t-storms. Isolated severe storms are possible, but unlikely throughout the Southeast.
The percentage of the land area of the contiguous U.S. covered in snow is at 4%. Yesterday it was also 4%.
Other important weather information will be shared when needed. This includes additional severe weather information, model data, drought info, hurricane info, and more. Some of these can be found as tabs to this page at any time.

We’ll see how my concern meter changes through the day. We’re already starting off very close to “no longer concerned”. Hopefully that needle keeps moving that direction.

MM says….Rain & wind for Wednesday, followed by clouds and sun the rest of the week. Scattered frost returns Sunday morning, followed by the possibility of our first freeze of the season by Monday morning.
An incoming storm system will bring showers and t-storms to the Mississippi River Valley today. Some of that rainfall could be heavy enough to produce flash flooding across West TN and northern Mississippi (red-shaded region). That system will continue to weaken as it moves eastward over the next 24 hours.
