WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
A slow moving low pressure system will move through West Tennessee tonight and some spotty showers will stick around tonight and on the back side on the system on Saturday. Dry weather with mostly sunny skies will return on Sunday. We could hit the 90° mark early next week. Catch your hour by hour weekend forecast breakdown and the rest of your forecast coming up here.
TONIGHT:
Friday was a mostly cloudy day and the clouds are expected to stick around for most of the night as well. A few spotty showers will continue overnight and a few rumbles of thunder could be possible. We are not expecting severe weather or any large storms. The winds on Friday came out of the southeast but the clouds and showers will only allowed highs to reach the mid 70s. The winds will be light and vary in direction tonight as the low pressure system drifts through. Friday night lows will fall down to the low 60s again. Rain chances on Friday night into Saturday morning currently sit at 30%.
THE WEEKEND:
Forecast models are sending out some mixed messages this weekend but most are suggesting a quiet and mild weekend for the most part in West Tennessee. We will likely see more clouds than sun on Saturday skies may try to clear late in the day on Saturday into Saturday night. Highs this weekend will make it back into the low to mid 80s with overnight lows falling to the mid 60s.
A low pressure system will linger on Saturday keeping some showers around for the first half of the day before drying out into the afternoon and evening hours, but we are not expecting severe weather or the showers to continue into Saturday night. The wind direction this weekend will come out of the northwest for the most part and be light. Sunday is looking like a really nice day if you have plans this weekend, Sunday looks better.
NEXT WEEK:
We have a shot to hit 90° for the first time in 2024 next week. Highs will be flirting with the 90° mark for both Monday and Tuesday. We are expecting mostly sunny skies to kick off the week as well. Clouds will be moving back in late Tuesday and some shower and storm chances will return as well Tuesday night into the day on Wednesday. Some storms look likely in the middle of the week with some potential for severe weather. The winds will come out of the southwest to start the weak before transitioning back to the west or northwest on Wednesday and Thursday. Morning lows will hang in the mid 60s to low 70s for the first half of next week.
FINAL THOUGHT:
We have seen close to normal amounts of rainfall so far this spring in West Tennessee after a wet start to the year according to the rain gauge out of the Jackson airport. More rain is in the forecast early this weekend but we are not expecting severe weather or large storms. The next shot for severe weather will return in the middle of next week. Highs will be close to normal and so will our overnight lows until early next week when we could see our first 90s of 2024. We will be watching storm trends though as well as tracking everything on the radar next week as the next system moves through out area. Take advantage of Sunday, it is looking like it is going to be a great day.
