Cool but Mostly Dry Weekend on the Way!
Saturday Morning Update
Saturday Morning Forecast Update for February 11th
A low pressure area will skirt just to our south over the weekend bringing rain just off to our south. The main effect will be some clouds and a slight chance of a stray shower along our southern counties. The disturbance will move on to the east tomorrow and we’ll go back to mostly sunny skies.
THE WEEKEND:
The sun finally is going to come back out this weekend due to high pressure moving back on in. But the high pressure is going to sit to our north keeping a brisk northerly breeze around on Saturday keeping the temperature down. Highs on Saturday will only make it to around 52° with Saturday night lows falling back down near 30° again.
The winds will shift back to the south late Sunday starting a warming trend again and we should see less clouds on Sunday as well. Highs on Sunday will make it back up into the mid 50s and Sunday night lows will fall down to the upper 30s but staying above freezing. We are NOT expecting any rain or snow this upcoming weekend after the chance early Saturday morning.
NEXT WEEK:
Another round of rain showers and storms look to return to West Tennessee in the middle of next week and will likely impact your Valentine’s Day evening plans. Warmer weather through will also stick around for most of next week. Highs on Monday will make it up to around 60° and Monday night lows drop to the low 40s. Mostly sunny skies are expected on Monday but clouds and showers will return on Tuesday. The winds will look to stay out of the south most of the week helping to keep temperatures above normal. Tuesday highs will reach the upper 50s but some mid 60s will return on Wednesday. Some showers could linger into Wednesday morning and another round looks to be heading our way next Thursday too. Cooler weather may try to return late next week into the following weekend. There appears to be a decent severe storm threat on the way to the mid south Wednesday night into Thursday, so please stay weather aware and up to date on the forecast details as we head into next week.
FINAL THOUGHT:
After the coldest Christmas in decades here in West Tennessee, warmer weather returned for the start of the new year, but some cooler weather moved in to wrap up the month and stuck around into February. The next chance for rain and storms is coming in the middle of next week, no winter storms are currently in the forecast but in will be a little cooler this weekend. 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.
