Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

We really need the rain in West Tennessee as we are all currently under a moderate drought. No locations are under a severe drought at this time. There is a really good chance for almost all of us to pick up some beneficial rainfall Saturday morning. There also could be some spotty storms on Friday in the afternoon and evening. A severe wind storm or two will also be possible. There is a chances a couple football games will be impacted on Friday but most places will be rain free during the games.

Thursday’s front didn’t bring any rain to West Tennessee, but the system coming in Saturday morning is going to bring rain to almost all of us! Today’s front has stalled out and will be lifted north as a warm front on Friday. Highs will reach the mid to upper 90s and it could feel into the low 100s for the first time in a few weeks. There will be enough instability for some storms Friday afternoon and evening as we are under a marginal (1/5) risk for severe weather. Most of the games will be fine Friday evening but one or two could be impacted so be sure to watch the news on Friday before you head out. Most of the rain from the system is coming in early Saturday morning and much cooler weather is expected for the weekend. We have a lot to get to and break down in the forecast and we will have it for you right here.

THIS WEEK:

Thursday turned out to be nice considering another front passed through and stalled out across the middle of the Mid South Thursday evening. Skies were partly cloudy and the front was a mostly dry front for us but did bring rain and storms to middle and east Tennessee. Highs reached the mid to upper 80s depending on your location and the timing of the front passing in your area. Overnight lows will drop down to the mid to upper 60s overnight as the front begins to lift back to the north. Chances for rain are only 10% near the Mississippi border tonight but not expect on picking up much until Friday afternoon.

Friday will start out dry as the front that will drift through on Thursday will be pushed back up to the north into the afternoon and a warm front is expected to lift through. This will allow temperatures to climb back up into the low to mid 90s and increase the humidity a little bit. Expect a partly cloudy day on Friday will the winds coming in out of the southwest. The weather again looks good for most of the games on Friday Night lights across West Tennessee. But there could be a few showers or storms popping up in the afternoon and evening hours, but most of us will miss out until after midnight on Friday. We will keep an eye on the Friday night forecast as we get closer to kickoff for the games. Friday night lows will fall down to around to the low 60s to kick off the weekend.

THE WEEKEND:

Another decent weekend looks to be coming for the first weekend of September for West Tennessee. As of now, shower chances are the greatest early Saturday with a 70% chance before noon. As the day goes on Saturday, the showers and clouds will move out by the evening hours. Skies in general will be partly cloudy and there will be more clouds on Saturday than Sunday. Both nights will drop to the mid to upper 50s and the winds will come out of the north or northeast this weekend. It will not be a hot and humid weekend but overall, it is looking pretty nice. Highs both days will reach the low 80s this weekend. Make some outdoor plans if you can as our nice weekends are most likely numbered for the rest of the season.

NEXT WEEK:

We are looking at a dry start to next week with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday being quiet and mild days. Highs will start in the mid 80s but will warm back up to the upper 80s to near 90° by the middle of the week. Skies will be mostly sunny for the first half of the week and the winds will keep an easterly component to them keeping the humidity down as well. There could be some showers chances later in the week but as of now, the timing and rain amounts have yet to be determined in the forecast.
