Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

The next cold front is on the way tonight and will bring some showers and maybe a few very weak storms with it later this evening. The showers will begin to show up after the 6pm hour and linger around until a little before midnight before moving out. The clouds will stick around tonight but will clear out into the day on Thanksgiving, but it is going to be cold. The cold will dig in this weekend and will be going no where anytime soon. Catch the full forecast details right here.

THIS WEEK:

Several cold fronts are on the way this week and each will bring some changes in the weather pattern to West Tennessee. The first front showed Monday evening and brought a round of rain showers and a few weak storms with it. Severe weather didn’t show up but some isolated gusty wind and some thunder and lightning accompanied the front as it slid by. The front brought a change in the winds from the south to the northwest into Tuesday morning. The winds quickly weakened by Tuesday morning and skies also cleared out by Tuesday morning. Monday night lows fell back down into the mid 30s and we dropped down to 30s again on Tuesday night.

Mostly sunny skies returned on Tuesday but temperatures were quite chilly all day as well. Highs on Tuesday only reached the mid 50s and Tuesday night lows will again fall down into the mid 30s. The winds were light out of the northeast on Tuesday but turned back to the south on Wednesday. That started another brief warm up on Wednesday under a lifting warm front. Under the front another unstable atmosphere presented itself leading to another round of rain showers and some weak storm activity Wednesday evening/night as the second front this week passed. Highs on Wednesday reached up to around 60° and fell down to around 40° Wednesday night. Skies were cloudy for Wednesday and likely cloudy again early on Thanksgiving before clearing out later in the day.

THANKSGIVING/BLACK FRIDAY:

Some of the rain from Wednesday’s front could linger into at least the first half of the morning on Thanksgiving but most of us will be dry by sunrise. On top of the clouds and early morning rain, it will also be cold on Thanksgiving. Highs will only reach up to the upper 40s and fall down into the upper 20s just in time to kick off our Black Friday! The winds will come out of the north or northwest for both Thursday and Friday keeping the temperatures well below normal.

The clouds will move out Thursday night into Friday morning and that is why we are expecting the coldest morning of the season so far on Friday. We should see plenty of sunshine on Friday but highs will only reach the mid 40s. It will also be cold Friday night with lows falling down into the mid 20s by Saturday morning. This will be far by the coldest weekend so far this fall coming in for the weekend following Thanksgiving.

THE WEEKEND:

The winds will vary in direction this weekend as the third cold front of the week is forecast to come by late Saturday night or early into the day on Sunday. This front looks mostly dry but some forecast models are showing snow very close to our northern border with Kentucky and that is something we are going to have to watch very closely as the weekend gets closer. As of now, we are NOT forecasting any snow in West Tennessee this weekend. We are expecting a cold but dry weekend for us.

Highs on Saturday will only reach the mid 40s and low to mid 40s are expected on Sunday depending on the timing of the weekend cold front. We should see a mix of sun and clouds this weekend as well, in general we will call it partly cloudy. The winds will briefly switch to the south for a few hours on Saturday before changing back to the northwest sometime later this weekend behind the front. Next Monday, for the parade day in Jackson, it is looking like it is going to be very COLD again, just like last year!
