Current Radar:
THE WEEKEND:
A cooler weekend looks to be on the way for West Tennessee. Highs will reach the mid 80s on Saturday and upper 80s on Sunday. Although a few showers cannot be ruled out Saturday evening/night, rain chances look to be a little higher on Sunday, especially late in the day.
Skies will be mostly sunny on Saturday and partly cloudy on Sunday. The winds are still expected to come out of the north this weekend and may try to shift back to the east late in the weekend. We will be watching the forecast closely this week and hope to have a better idea on the timing and storm chances over the next few days.
NEXT WEEK:
Mostly cloudy skies and some showers and storms will look to impact our weather in West Tennessee early next week. Some storms will be possible but it does not look like a big severe weather maker for the Mid South. Rain chances are at least 40% for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will only reach the mid 80s with morning lows hanging around the mid to upper 60s. The winds are forecast to come our of the south or southwest and be light early next week.
FINAL THOUGHT:
After another very hot start to the work week in West Tennessee, cooler and drier weather will move back in during the middle and end of the work week. Rain chances will also try to return in the middle of the week and there could be more showers or storms later this weekend as well. Southwest winds will be replaced by northerly winds as well toward the back half of the work week. Severe weather seems unlikely for most of us this week and the tropics are looking quiet as of now. We will see how much longer that lasts for through.
