Finally some drier and possibly sunnier weather will be moving in by the end of the week and start to the weekend. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies can be expected and highs will start to return to the mid 80s. Winds will start to come out of the southeast as well and the humidity will climb as the weekend approaches. With the humidity being so high, an isolated pop up shower or two cannot be ruled out on Saturday but the majority of us will not see anything. Lows will dip into the mid 60s.

Forecast models are showing more rain showers and possibly some thunderstorms returning to West Tennessee on Sunday. As of now the showers look to be popping up into the afternoon and continuing into next Monday.
