Pop Up Showers & Storms Back All Week Long!

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

After a great weekend in West Tennessee, storms returned on Monday and will look to stick around all week long in our area. Chances for rain each day range from 30-60% with the two most likely days to be impacted being Wednesday and Thursday. Exactly when and where the pop up’s will spark up each day is hard to forecast. But most will be between noon and 10pm during the week. The winds are forecast to come out of the southwest all week long and that will keep the humidity up all week long too. Catch the latest on the radar and your complete week’s forecast coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

Showers and storms returned on Monday across West Tennessee and will be sticking around each day this week and into the weekend. The humidity was high on Monday due to the southwest winds that will also be sticking around all week long. Highs will stay close to 90° and lows will stay close to 70° all week long. The nights and mornings are likely to be dry all week but each afternoon and evening is when the storms are going to pop. Exactly when and where are very difficult to forecast in these types of setups unfortunately.

The showers and storms on Monday wrapped up around sunset and we are expecting dry weather overnight into Tuesday morning. The winds will be calm most of the night and we will see mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. Overnight lows will fall down to the low 70s to kick off our Tuesday. The heat index will reach up to around 100° until the showers show up in the afternoon hours.

Tuesday is going to start out nice in the morning but it will be quite humid most of the day. Shower and storm chances will get going as early as the noon hour and continue until sunset. A few gusty wind storms will be possible and maybe some small hail but overall the severe weather threat seems low with these storms. Highs will reach the low 90s on Tuesday and overnight lows will again fall down to the low 70s. The winds will come out of the southwest and overall expect partly cloudy skies. Chances for rain are 40% on Tuesday.

As the cold front sitting to the north gets a little closer and tracks close to West Tennessee, shower and storm chances will go up in the middle of the week. Chances for rain and storms on Wednesday are at 60%. There could be some gusty storms but like Tuesday, severe storms seem unlikely. There will be periods of heavy rain though and plenty of lightning with any of the storms that do pop up.  Highs on Wednesday will make it up to the upper 80s or around 90° depending on how fast the storms develop in the early afternoon hours. The winds will stay out of the southwest and expect a mostly cloudy day. Wednesday night lows will drop into the low 70s.

Thursday the front may drift across West Tennessee. It will not pass through, so cooler weather and a change in the humidity and wind direction seems unlikely. If it does move through, it will be pushed back to the east and north of us later during the day.  Showers are expected with a 50% chance right now to be impacted Thursday afternoon and evening from the front. Highs will reach the upper 80s and the winds will come out of the west most of the day. Thursday night lows will fall down to around 70°.

On the back side of the cold front there will be enough instability with the heat to spark up another round of storms on Friday. Chances are 40% as of now to see a brief heavy rain shower or pop up storm. Expect partly cloudy skies and the winds will come out of the west or southwest later in the day. Highs will reach around 90° and lows will fall into the low 70s to kick off your weekend.

THIS WEEKEND:

As of now we are going to include shower and storm chances for both days this weekend. There is a better chance we are dry on Sunday than Saturday but a lot could change in the weekend forecast as it gets closer. Highs will reach the low 90s with the heat index being near 100% in the afternoon and evening so a shower or two might not be a bad thing. If we get storms this weekend severe weather seems unlikely at this time. Expect partly cloudy skies and the winds will look to come out of the west-southwest all weekend long. Chances for rain on Saturday right now are 30% and 20% on Sunday. If you have weekend plans just keep an eye on the forecast this week and the radar when you will get out and about. Any showers and storms that do develop will produce heavy rain and lightning and possibly some winds gusting up to 40mph.
