Heavy rain showers and storms will continue in West Tennessee during the weekend. Between the several rounds of showers and storms, 2-4″ of rain will fall across the area before the showers clear out early Monday. Some storms could produce hail and gusty winds on Sunday, but as of now the tornado threat seems very minimal or non existent but we will be keeping a close eye on it in the WBBJ 7 Storm Team Weather Center. Highs should be in the 60s again though for both Saturday and Sunday with lows near 60° Saturday night and mid 40s Sunday night behind the cold front.

More showers and possibly some weak storms will remain in the forecast for both Monday and Tuesday. We are expecting some clearing towards the middle of the week but be sure to keep that umbrella handy for the first half of the week. Highs on Monday and Tuesday are only expected to be in the low to mid 50s and lows could drop back down to the mid 30s Monday night.
