Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

The last of 3 solar flares is hitting the planet this afternoon and the energy from the solar flare will likely be sticking around into the evening. This should allow the northern lights to again be viewable for many of us in West Tennessee. The lights could be seen between sunset and midnight but may taper off as the night goes on as the strength of a geomagnetic storm drops. In the weather department, upper 70s to near 80° temperatures are on the way as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend before the next front passes early Sunday morning. Catch the latest coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

Westerly winds hung around during the day on Wednesday and that continued to warm things up across the Mid South. Highs on Wednesday reached the mid to upper 60s, back up above normal for the month of November. Skies were sunny on Wednesday as an area of high pressure moved in and continued to control our weather in West Tennessee. Wednesday night lows will fall down to the upper 30s due to calm winds being likely to start our Thursday. Thursday will be a partly cloudy day and will again be really nice with calm winds expected as the area of high pressure will be sitting on top of us. Highs will reach up to around 70° and Thursday night lows will fall down to around 50° as a southwest breeze will return Thursday night into Friday morning.

Friday is going to be a very warm day with highs reaching the mid 70s. The winds will be a bit breezy and come out of the southwest. We should still see mostly sunny skies but some clouds may try to move back in Friday night into the upcoming weekend. The humidity will climb some during the day as well and that will keep overnight lows in the mid 50s as we head into the upcoming weekend.

THE WEEKEND:

The weekend weather looks decent but there will be a front passing sometime late Saturday or early Sunday morning. The front looks pretty weak and a mostly dry front although we cannot rule out a couple showers late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The winds will come out of the southwest on Saturday but turn to the northwest as the front passes and into the day on Sunday. Highs will reach the mid 70s on Saturday and still reach around 70° on Sunday. Saturday night lows will fall down to the upper 50s but we will fall to the mid 40s on Sunday night. Expect a mix of sun and clouds this weekend. There will be better chances for rain early next week as a low pressure system looks on track to move through. Some storms could be returning early next week as well.
