WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

After only having a few days below average so far in November in West Tennessee, nothing is going to change as we get going into the next 7-10 days. Above average temperatures and overall humid weather for this time of the year is going to hang around through the weekend. A couple different low pressure systems will be moving in from the west this week and each will bring some showers and storm chances back to the Mid South. A warm front is lifting through this evening and a cold front will bring our first shot for rain this week Tuesday night. The best chances for rain and storms this week will be here on Thursday and Friday. Catch the latest on the warm and wet forecast coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

After a mild weekend in West Tennessee some changes are coming during the upcoming work week for all of us. A warm front will bring a few sprinkles or very light showers back this evening but most of us will not see much. Under the warm front though we will be warm and humid tonight with lows only falling down to the mid 50s to kick off our Tuesday. Clouds will increase as the night goes on and we will see a light breeze out of the southwest overnight.

Tuesday is going to be a warm one with highs in the mid to upper 70s as we will be sitting under a warm front all day long. The warm front will bring southwest winds that will be a bit breezy at times during the afternoon and evening hours. Expect a mostly cloudy day and there could be some early day showers and storms near the Kentucky border but most of us will not see much in the way of rain chances until late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning when a cold front will drift through. Tuesday night lows will down to the low 60s.

Temperatures will be a little cooler on Wednesday but not much cooler because the cold front will turn up stationary and drift back to the north during the afternoon. Any rain that comes in Tuesday night should be moving out by Wednesday morning and the rest of the day on Wednesday will be dry. Expect a partly cloudy day on Wednesday with highs in the low to mid 70s, We will remain dry on Wednesday night and fall down to the mid to upper 70s with the winds changing from the northwest to the south late in the day.

More rain is coming on Thursday but not until the afternoon or evening hours. There could be a couple of weak storms on Thursday but severe weather of strong storms are not expected at this time. Clouds will also increase during the day and expect a mostly cloudy back half of the day. Highs on Thursday will reach the mid 70s and Thursday night lows will only drop down to around 60°. We will be under another warm front on Thursday, just like Tuesday. The winds will come out of the south all day long and be a tad breezy.

The greatest chances for storms and the heaviest rain this week appears to be coming in on Friday. The timing of the storms and heaviest rain is still being determined but there is a decent shot as of now that some of the Friday night games will be impacted but rain showers and maybe some storms. Overall this does not look like a big severe weather maker for us but will keep an eye on it as the week goes on. Highs on Friday will reach the mid 70s and Friday night lows will fall down to the mid 50s. Rain showers will probably continue Friday night into Saturday morning. The winds on Friday will come out of the southwest before moving to the northwest when the front passes by.

THE WEEKEND:

Rain showers will probably hang around on Saturday. There is a shot the rain clears out by Saturday morning but there is also a chances some of the showers linger in the middle of the day as well. Current thoughts are Sunday is more likely to be dry than Saturday but there is a lot to be determined still on the weekend forecast. Expect a mix of sun and clouds this weekend with the winds in general having a northerly component to them. Usually in November northerly winds means we get a shot for a freeze but there is nothing shows that being likely this time behind the early weekends front. Highs are expected to be in the mid 60s this weekend with morning lows on Saturday in the mid 40s and mid 40s by Sunday morning. We should stay out of the 30s for both Saturday and Sunday nights.
