Clouds are departing and precip is done. We'll see mostly sunny skies this morning then some clouds and possible flurries could move into mainly west TN portions of the area this afternoon as "backlash" moisture moves into the low levels. Temps will sit in the low-mid 30s all day with northwest wind keeping wind chills in the 20s.

All school districts in Shelby County have announced their intentions and will be OPEN today. And all the school kids be like....
Take it SLOW and BE SAFE this morning. Consider alternate routes that don't have overpasses if possible and allow extra time to reach your destination. Leave plenty of space between you and the car in front of you and avoid rapid changes in speed or direction, especially on elevated surfaces. I'm done being your momma. Now go enjoy the light snow rather than stressing out. It's only mid-November and we could have a long winter ahead.
(Looking ahead: it will be unusually cold for November through Wednesday morning. Mid 30s today, upper teens tonight, mid 30s again Tuesday, 20s Tuesday night, then a warmup begins. Add wind to all of these temps and it'll feel even colder. We could be talking thunder by this weekend with temps trying to get back to normal or slightly above.)
