February 19, 2020

SUMMARY: Rain will redevelop this evening and carryover into Thursday. Less than 1/4” may fall closer to the MS/TN border with 1-2” possible across the southern half of the WCBI coverage area. A swath of even heavier rain may occur just to our south across central Mississippi near the I-20 corridor. Cool and dry weather builds in for Friday and Saturday.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with rain developing. Lows will be mainly in the low 40s but some 30s are possible across the northern areas. Northerly winds remain breezy between 10 and 15 mph.

THURSDAY: Morning rain. A few flakes may mix in near the TN border but warm ground and temperatures above freezing will limit any impacts. Clouds decrease from north to south during the afternoon. Highs should top out in the 40s. Northerly winds 10-20 with gusts to 25 mph.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear, breezy, and much colder. Actual temperatures fall into the upper 20s with wind chill values tumbling into the teens and low 20s. Winter gear will be a must once again.

FRIDAY: Sunny and dry. Highs in the mid to upper 40s. A northerly breeze will keep a winter chill going all day long.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Areas of showers. Lows in the mid to upper 40s.
