WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

December 4, 2024

Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

As the fronts move in tonight and early Thursday the coldest weather this fall will be moving on in. The wind chill tomorrow morning will be between 10-20° so please layer up. The actual high tomorrow will make it into the low to mid 30s but it will feel below 25° all day due to the stiff northerly breeze. We will bottom out in the upper teens Friday morning before temperatures slowly recover into the weekend. There will be rain showers back for most of us this weekend as well and we will have the latest forecast details coming up right here.

THIS WEEK:

Tuesday highs only reached up to around 40° but we did see plenty of sunshine. The winds were light out of the north on Tuesday between 5-10 MPH and will be calm in the evening. Tuesday night will again be cold with lows falling down to the mid 20s by midnight before slowly warming into the morning from the return of the southwest winds. The overnight lows will happen around midnight in West Tennessee. The winds will shift back to the southwest on Wednesday and that will try to warm us up some into the afternoon.

Highs on Wednesday reached the low to mid 50s. There was a low pressure system coming up from the south and a late cold front that brought a few showers just south of our southern counties in the afternoon and evening on Wednesday. If you live along the Mississippi border you will had a chance of seeing a few showers, but if you live north of Madison County, chances were zero. Wednesday night lows will fall down to the upper 20s or low 30s.

Behind Wednesday’s front, even colder weather will be on the way. If you didn’t fall down to the teens Tuesday morning, you probably will on Friday morning. Thursday highs will only make it to the mid to upper 30s from the brisk northerly wind. We should see the sun dominate most of the day on Thursday but it will be cold all day long. High temperatures will try to warm up a bit on Friday but not much. The winds will still come out of the north most of the day allowing highs to only reach the low 40s. Friday night lows will fall down to the mid 20s and expect mostly sunny skies on Friday.

THE WEEKEND:

This weekend we are going to see a little bit of a warm up due to the winds returning back to the south and southwest. Highs on Saturday will reach the low 50s and Sunday night will make it back up above normal for the first time in a while up to the upper 50s. Saturday night will be warm and drop down to around 50°. This will be from the southerly winds and increase in the dew point from some moisture streaming up from the south. The next system will come through on Sunday and bring a round of rain showers with it. There is a chance for a few storms to mix in but there appears to be a better chance for thunderstorms on Monday as the next system passes by. There is a chance for some severe weather on Monday so we will be watching that closely as the week goes by. Expect a partly cloudy day on Saturday, mostly cloudy day on Sunday and cloudy skies for next Monday.
