Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Behind Tuesday’s front, highs only reached the 40s today and will be falling down to the mid 20s tonight. The winds will make it feel closer to 20° Thursday morning. Warmer weather will return this weekend fueling some rain chances and a storm threat could be heading to the Mid South on Monday. Catch the latest forecast details coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

We had cloudy skies and warmer temperatures on Tuesday due to the humidity and cloud cover, but both cleared out Tuesday night. The winds varied in direction and were calm for the most part early Tuesday but increased Tuesday night into the day on Wednesday. Highs on Tuesday hit the mid 50s around noon in Jackson but it was cooler on Wednesday and Thursday. The front brought a couple of showers and even a few flurries but we not storms showed up. There is a better chance for storms early next week. The front cut the clouds out and with the clear skies and drier air moving in, we fell back down to around freezing by Wednesday morning.

Highs on Wednesday were below normal and made it up to the mid to upper 40s. We saw a mix of sun and clouds on Wednesday but the winds will came out of the northwest to start the day and will turn to the west Wednesday night. We will bottom out from this cold spell on Wednesday night and fall down into the mid 20s. If the skies clear, some low 20s will also be possible but we should avoid the teens this go around.

Mostly sunny skies will return on Thursday but with the light winds, so we will not be warming up much yet. As the day goes on, the winds will pick up speed and shift to the southeast, they will try to warm us back up a bit on Friday. Highs on Thursday will only reach the upper 40s. Thursday night lows are forecast to drop down into the low to mid 30s. Friday highs will be back up into the mid 50s and Friday night lows will dip down to the low 40s.

THE WEEKEND:

The next system is on the way this weekend and will bring another round of rain showers and maybe some storms trying to mix in on Saturday. Highs on Saturday will reach the mid 50s before the low pressure system passes by. Expect a mostly cloudy day on Saturday, but a bit humid as well due to the southerly winds. The next front will pass later in the weekend but it will not be cooling us down much as the weekend front looks to come more in from the west instead of straight in from the north.

Highs on Sunday will also reach the low to mid 50s and Sunday night lows will fall down to around 40°, the same as Saturday night’s lows. The winds will shift back to the north late in the weekend before turning back to the southwest on Monday, beginning another warm up across the Mid South. There could be a round of severe weather returning to the Mid South for the first time in awhile on Monday. We will be watching it closely as it could bring very strong storms to some of us Monday evening.
