Storm Team Weather,

Thursday Night Forecast Update for August 25th:

Although we could see a few pop up stray showers Friday afternoon, chances remain below 10% and should all wrap up by the time the football games kick off around 7 PM Friday night. There is a cold front that will impact our weather either late in the weekend or early next week. Showers will return next week to the Mid-South next week, but will they be returning for any of us this weekend? We will let you know and have a detailed look into your weekend forecast coming up here.

TONIGHT:

A stray shower or two may drift into across West Tennessee but most of us will stay dry tonight. MOstly clear skies can be expected and the winds will be calm most of the night. The calm winds and high humidity could lead to some patchy fog developing again late tonight into Tuesday morning. Lows tonight will fall down to the upper 60s to near 70° across the region.

FRIDAY:

As of now, Friday looks to be a fantastic day and very pleasant weather is expected again for High School Friday night football games across the region. Mostly sunny skies are expected with highs approaching the low 90s with lows falling into the low 70s. The winds will vary in direction but come out of the northwest most of the day. Chances for rain sit below 10%, so don’t count on seeing any rain on Friday but a stray shower or two cannot be ruled out.

THE WEEKEND:

The weekend weather looks to shaping up to be much better than last weekend across West Tennessee. Highs will make it up to the low 90s and morning lows will start out in the low 70s. Mostly sunny skies are expected for the majority of the weekend but some clouds and shower chances may try to return late Sunday night and stick around into the following Monday. The winds this weekend will come out of the southeast on Saturday and out of the south on Sunday kicking the humidity up some.

NEXT WEEK:

Highs will hang around in the mid 80s for the beginning of next week with lows falling down to around 70°. Partly cloudy skies and a light south or southwest wind will also be sticking around. Some isolated pop up showers and weak storm chances also will be hanging around the for start of next week. Rain chances could move out by next Thursday, but that all depends on how things are shaping up in the tropics. There could be some tropical concerns towards the end of next week and that is something we will be keeping a very close eye on as we finish August and start the month of September.

FINAL THOUGHT:

After a very hot and dry July, August has been cooler and so far has been a wet month as well As of August 22nd, we had already seen the 7th wettest August on record in Jackson.

It appears the extreme heat may be over with but another heat wave or two could still move in before the summer is over. There will be more chances for severe weather but overall, August and September are typically low for severe weather development. The tropics have been very quiet so far but usually begin to heat up towards the end of the summer. 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.
