Tennessee Valley, Thursday’s looking like one of those days where you’ll want to keep an umbrella (and maybe a jacket) close by. Rain is moving in early and will stick around through the evening, and gusty winds will make it feel even cooler. But here’s the good news—by the weekend, we’re in for sunshine and a big warm-up!
What to Expect
🌧️ On-and-Off Showers – Expect rain throughout the day, with some heavier downpours at times, especially in the afternoon and evening.
💨 Wind Gusts Up to 30+ MPH – It’ll be blustery, so secure any loose outdoor items before the wind picks up.
🌡️ Weekend Warm-Up – Once the rain clears out, temperatures will jump into the mid-to-upper 60s, giving us a nice taste of spring.
How This Might Affect Your Day
🚗 Messy Commutes – Wet roads and wind could make driving a little slower than usual, so give yourself extra time.
⚡ Possible Power Flickers – Stronger gusts may knock around tree branches, which could cause brief power outages in some areas.
☀️ A Beautiful Weekend Ahead – After all this rain and wind, we’ll be rewarded with sunshine and warm temperatures by Saturday.
How to Stay Ready
✅ Drive Cautiously – Wet roads + gusty winds = a recipe for trouble. Slow down and be mindful of puddles.
✅ Tie Down or Bring in Outdoor Items – Trash cans, patio furniture, and other loose items could get blown around—secure them now!
✅ Stay Weather-Aware – Rain amounts and wind speeds could change, so check the latest forecast before heading out.
Looking Ahead
By Friday morning, the rain moves out, and the warm-up begins. Highs will reach the upper 60s this weekend, making it a perfect time for outdoor plans.
Final Thoughts
Yes, Thursday will be dreary and breezy, but it won’t last long. Once we get through the rain, we’re in for a much nicer weekend, with warmer temps and plenty of sunshine.
Stay dry, stay safe, and get ready to enjoy the weekend, Tennessee Valley! 🌧️💨☀️
