Overnight lows will fall down into the mid to upper 50s making for a cool start for our Friday. Friday night football weather is looking great and expect plenty of sunshine this weekend.

THIS WEEK:

Many of us picked up 2-3″ of well needed rain this week. Highs were still near normal most of week even under the clouds. Warmer weather will be returning as the sun is expected to return for the rest of the week and into the weekend. The drought monitor didn’t change much but it didn’t count for all the rain we got after Monday so we will expect to see some improvements when it comes out next week.

There was some showers and clouds sticking around Thursday morning and the showers continued into the afternoon. There were a few weak storms but nothing of concern. The clouds though did make for. a cooler day and behind the front highs only reached the upper 70s. The winds on Thursday came out of the northwest behind the front and it was a tad breezy at times early in the day. Tonight’s lows will fall down into the 50s for the first time in several days. Friday is looking like great days across West Tennessee with mostly sunny skies. Highs will be in the low 80s and the winds will be calm most of the day. Friday night football weather again is looking perfect. We should fall into the mid 50s again for Friday night into Saturday morning.

THE WEEKEND:

Great weather is on tap for the weekend across all of West Tennessee. In general expect sunny skies. There will be a few clouds, but not many. Also rain showers are not expected this weekend. Our first weekend of fall will be mild with highs reaching the low to mid 80s and morning lows sticking around between 55-60°. We could warm back up to the upper 80s by next Monday. Take advantage of the weekend weather if you like nice weather because we are not sure how many more of these nice weekends we are going to have as we get deeper into fall. The winds will come out of the northeast all weekend long across the region.

NEXT WEEK:

Plenty of sunshine and warmer weather will be sticking around it looks like for all of next week. Rain showers are not expected until the weekend at the earliest. There will be a few more clouds during the middle of the week but overall, mostly sunny skies will dominate next week. High will reach the mid to upper 80s each day and we will be close to 90° on Monday and Tuesday. The winds are forecast to come out of the north for the first half of the week but will turn to the southeast later in the week. The humidity will be low through Thursday but will look to increase some by next Friday into the following weekend. A cold front could be on the way next weekend but it is too early to have much confidence in the timing or severity of the front as of now.
