Rain Chances Continue Through the Weekend, Heat Returns Next Week!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
We are not quite done with the rain yet in West Tennessee this week. Chances continue on Friday and both days this weekend. We are not expecting big storms or severe weather, but showers are expected for most of us at times this weekend. After the showers clear out, the heat looks to be coming back into next week too! Catch the latest forecast information coming up here.

TONIGHT:
Temperatures on Thursday again reach the mid 80s and Thursday night lows will again fall down to around 70°. There was a few pop up showers and storms this afternoon but they should taper off tonight before coming back on Friday. The winds came out of the south for most of the day on Thursday and the skies in general were mostly cloudy again. The winds will be calm and it will be humid tonight leading to a shot for some patchy fog. The majority of us will still be dealing with a mostly cloudy night.

FRIDAY:
Chances for rain will be lower on Friday than earlier in the weekend but a few may pop up again in the afternoon hours. Highs on Friday will reach the mid to upper 80s and Friday night lows will fall down to the low 70s. The winds are forecast to come out of the east on Friday on the backside of a low pressure system that will pass to our south. Expect partly cloudy skies on Friday.

THE WEEKEND:
The weekend will be a little bit more humid than that work week. The winds will come out of the south and that will keep our morning temperatures in the low to mid 70s. Highs will also reach the upper 80s this weekend and a couple 90s cannot be ruled out. The heat and humidity will also lead to a few pop up showers and storms. Chances for rain this weekend looks higher on Sunday than on Saturday. If you have weekend plans and are hoping to beat the rain, Saturday is looking like the best shot at staying dry. Expect a mostly sunny day on Saturday with partly cloudy skies on Sunday.

NEXT WEEK:
Showers and pop up storms will linger in the forecast to kick off next week. The showers will taper off as the week goes on and the heat will look to return in the middle of the week as well. Highs on Monday will make it up to around 90° but mid 90s will look to make an appearance in the middle of the week. Morning lows will start in the low 70s but reach the mid 70s quickly in the middle of the week. Showers are likely on Monday and Tuesday but might clear out some the later the work week progresses.
