Warm Weather Continues into Friday

Weather Update – 11:00 p.m. – Wednesday, March 25th

Sunny skies, winds gusting over 30 miles per hour, and a dry day amounted to high temperatures in the lower to middle 80s this afternoon as forecast! We reached a high of 86°F in Jackson breaking the record of 84°F in 2007. There have only been 7 other times that featured a day that warm during the month of March in Jackson’s 70 years of weather history. We have more of this unusually warm weather in the forecast tomorrow but it’s going to become more humid. Plus, showers and thunderstorms are expected to return on Saturday when a cold front comes into West Tennessee.

TONIGHT
Temperatures will fall to only the lower and middle 60s overnight. Winds gusting to 30 mph overnight will also feature mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance for rain. Showers are more likely to return Saturday.

Slight chance for rain tomorrow under skies that will be partly to mostly cloudy with breezy winds from the southwest. Temperatures will be back in the lower to middle 80s in the afternoon. A cold front coming into West Tennessee on Saturday will bring showers and thunderstorms to the area and there’s a marginal (level 1 out of 5) risk that some may be severe.
