THE WEEKEND:
Showers are possible Saturday night into Sunday morning according to some of the forecast models. We should see plenty of sunshine as well at times this weekend. Highs will climb into the mid 70s on Saturday but should be about 10° cooler on Sunday behind Saturday nights storm system. Thunderstorms could be possible as the system tracks across West Tennessee but it is too early to tell or have high confidence in the forecast as of now.
