Rain Returns to West Tennessee Early This Week

Why this matters: Staying informed about the weather helps residents prepare for potential disruptions and safety hazards, such as localized flooding. Knowing about the Harvest Moon adds an astronomical highlight to the week.

The approaching weather system will bring increased humidity and scattered showers starting Monday morning. The most significant rainfall is anticipated on Tuesday due to an approaching front. While the rain may cause localized flooding, it will eventually give way to a drier air mass, ushering in cooler temperatures towards the end of the week. Remember that pockets of heavy rain could lead to localized flooding - mainly in low lying and poor drainage areas.

Also, the Harvest Moon will rise around 6:04 pm on Monday night and be at peak around 10:47 pm. It will appear around 14% larger and 30% bigger!

Rain is expected to begin around midday on Monday.

There is a risk of localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas, due to heavy downpours.

Showers should linger into early Wednesday before moving out Wednesday afternoon, with cooler and drier air arriving later in the week.
