Storms Likely on Friday & Saturday in West TN!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
Rain chances got going for most of us this week on Thursday. A cold front will approach the Mid South and will stall out for a few days. Depending on where the front stalls will determine who is most likely to see heavy rain and who is just going to be dodging pop up showers and storms.
Rain showers and storm chances appear to be a little higher on Friday Rain chances are 70% and the skies are expected to be partly to mostly cloudy. There will be some afternoon and evening showers and storms on Friday that will be a bit intense. There could be some severe storms with gusty winds being the main threat. Although the tornado and hail threat are lower, both cannot be ruled out at this time. The winds will start to come out of the southwest making for a warm and humid day. Highs will reach the mid 80s on Friday and Friday night lows will fall down again into the low 70s.
THIS WEEKEND:
Unfortunately rain showers and storms are expected to pop up both days this weekend. Chances are at least 70% on Saturday but are only around 20-30% on Sunday. That stalled out front will continue to impact our weather leading to pop up showers and storms. There could be some stronger storms or possible severe weather this weekend, especially on Saturday morning and afternoon so you need to watch things closely if you have outdoor events planned. Not everyone is going to get this weekend but chances are much higher that you will, than that you won’t. Highs will reach the low to mid 80s this weekend and both days appear to be partly cloudy. There will be more clouds though on Saturday than Sunday. The winds this weekend will come out of the west or southwest all weekend long. Morning lows will hang around 70°. Sunday is looking like the better day for outdoor activities. We are currently under a level 2/5 (slight risk) for severe storms on Saturday. There could be a couple rounds so please stay weather aware and keep a close eye on the radar when you are out if things start to get dark.
