A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Alcorn and Tishomingo counties in northeast Mississippi, and for McNairy and Hardin counties in southwest Tennessee from 6 a.m. Wednesday to midnight Wednesday night.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Tipton, Haywood, Madison, Chester, Henderson, Decatur, Shelby, Fayette, and Hardeman counties in West Tennessee from 6 a.m. Wednesday to midnight Wednesday night.
The clouds took a while to clear this morning but finally by the afternoon, we were looking at sunshine again. Temperatures warmed up into the mid and upper 30s across most locations but cold weather will return in earnest to West Tennessee after winter weather wallops West Tennessee once more on Wednesday.
Tonight, skies will become cloudy at times later on in the night with light winds out of the southwest. Temperatures will drop to the low and mid 20s by Wednesday morning. Wednesday will start out dry but as skies become mostly cloudy after noon, snow showers will start moving into southern portions of the Mid-South with temperatures warming up to the upper 30s and low 40s.
Snow showers will begin moving into southwest Tennessee just before sunset on Wednesday night. Afterwards light to moderate snow could be seen anywhere in West Tennessee, but will be likeliest south of I-40 where significant accumulations could occur. Counties that are under a Winter Storm Warning (McNairy and Hardin) could see 2"-3" of snow while other areas south of I-40 could get as much as 1"-2" including parts of Bolivar, Henderson, and Parsons which are in counties under a Winter Weather Advisory. Along and north of the interstate, as much as a dusting to 1" of snow will be possible.
Later on in the week, Thursday and Friday will be bitterly cold as a region of cold air moves into the Mid-South. The weekend will begin a warming trend as temperatures warm into the mid and upper 40s under partly cloudy skies on Saturday. March will begin on Sunday with even warmer weather but will also come along with rain showers from a cold front that will move into the area on Sunday night.
