Storms Likely this Evening, Gusty Winds & Small Hail Possible
Tuesday Night Forecast Update
Tuesday Night Forecast for June 29th:
If you missed out on the rain Tuesday, or just didn’t get enough, you have more chances this week. Some pop up showers will be possible again on Wednesday, but Thursday will bring a better chance for rain. A cold front is going to move through and bring showers and weak storms in the afternoon. Behind the front, less humid, dry and cooler weather will be moving on in. Catch the latest details and full weather forecast right here.
TONIGHT:
After sunset, skies will turn to partly cloudy and the winds will be calm most of the night. With the high dew points in the low to mid 70s again tonight, overnight lows will only fall into the low 70s.
WEDNESDAY – FRIDAY:
Rain chances really start to get going this week on Wednesday and are expected to continue Thursday and linger into the day on Friday. Moisture is expected to be sticking around from southerly winds and the tropical system. A cold front will also be approaching from the northwest and pass by later in the week. The combination of those 2 factors could bring over an inch of rain to many locations in West Tennessee. Highs reach the upper 80s on Wednesday before falling to the mid 80s for Thursday and Friday. Winds will start out of the south but turn to the northwest sometime on Thursday of Friday. Skies are expected to be partly to mostly cloudy during the middle and end of the work week.
4TH OF JULY WEEKEND:
Showers are expected to move out during the day on Friday and rain chances appear to be low over the holiday weekend. Winds will come out of the north over the weekend keeping the humidity down and the temperatures will only top out in the mid 80s. Overnight lows will fall into the low to mid 60s so the weather should be really nice this weekend. We should see some patchy cloud cover on Saturday and mostly sunny to sunny skies for you Independence Day plans! Fireworks shows will be popular places to be this weekend given the fantastic weather.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Not only are we now officially in tropical storm season, we are still in the middle of our severe weather season. So you need to stay weather aware to changing weather patterns and monitor the forecasts closely. We got you covered in the WBBJ 7 Storm Team Weather Center as always.
