WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

May 2, 2025

Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

An approaching cold front brought a couple rounds of thunderstorms to West Tennessee Friday morning/afternoon. Both rounds brought an impressive shelf cloud (gusty wind storm) and I am sharing some of my favorites photos I received today of it below.

That front will bring one last round of showers and maybe a few weak storms overnight into Saturday morning. As the front passes, the system is expected to stall out this weekend. It appears that where that low is going to stall, it will bring a mostly cloudy weekend with a light rain shower chances for many of us. We are not expecting storms or severe weather this weekend but you will not be working on an early summer tan either. Catch the latest here.

FRIDAY NIGHT:

We saw two rounds of heavy rain showers and storms on Friday and there will be some lingering showers tonight as the cold front will finally pass by overnight into Saturday morning. The winds on Friday changed from the southwest to the west and then will change to the northwest during the night as the front passes by. Highs on Friday hit the mid to upper 70s and Friday night lows will drop down to around 60°.

Chances for rain on Friday night are 40% with spotty showers and maybe a few weak storms mixing in. We are not expecting anymore severe weather tonight. The front will move through between midnight and 6am and will look to pass close to 3am in the Jackson area.

THE WEEKEND:

There will be some lingering showers into Saturday morning and a few could linger into the afternoon near the Tennessee River. Temperatures are going to be a little cooler this weekend behind Friday night’s cold front. Highs on Saturday will be in the low 70s and Sunday highs will be in the upper 60’s. Saturday night lows will drop to the low 50s and Sunday night lows will settle in around 50° to start next week.

There will be clouds Saturday morning but overall we are expecting partly cloudy skies this weekend and we are not expecting any rain after the system clears out early Saturday. The system is going to stall out just to the northeast of us and will take it time moving out. This will keep temperatures below normal and keeping the clouds around longer, especially northeast of Madison county. The winds this weekend will come out of the north or northeast keeping both the temperature and humidity down all weekend long. Make some plans this weekend as it is not going to be wet, humid or too hot! Warmer weather will look to return as we head into next week.

NEXT WEEK:

We are expecting a dry start to next week but it will be a little cool as well with the winds forecast to come out of the north and east for the start of the week. Highs on Monday and Tuesday with reach the mid to upper 70s near normal. Rain showers and storm chances will return during the middle of the week but it does not appear to be a big severe weather concern as of now. Morning lows will hang around 50° for Monday and Tuesday before warming back up to around 60° for Wednesday and Thursday morning. This will be from the winds finally returning back to the south and the increase in the humidity during the middle of the week.
