Halloween Forecast for West Tennessee

A few changes to today's forecast seem apparent and I thought it best to share them with you here! One forecast model called, the High Resolution Rapid Refresh model, has a good grip on the immediate forecast and will be useful for you to have as a time line for your day today.


Remember the graphic I posted on Facebook earlier?


Well now that the forecast has changed, these times are no longer effective! Expect the widespread showers to alleviate by 4PM across most of the region. Scattered storms (possibly thunderstorms) will remain over northwest Tennessee and clear out after 10PM.

We are still under a slight risk for severe weather, but the main risks today will come from possibly damaging winds this afternoon, and high rainfall totals in parts of southwest Tennessee. A tornado risk will mainly be confined to the Gulf Coast, away from West Tennessee. Also, remember that as long as you can hear thunder, you're capable of being struck by lightning. Move indoors when you hear it!

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
