Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Highs hit 80° again today in Jackson and the last day of March will also be in the 80s. The first few days of April will also be in the 80s as cooler weather isn’t expected until Easter Sunday. The next front will pass Saturday night and that will bring a decent chance for some storms and heavy rain with it. Rain chances will start this week on Wednesday and continue on Thursday and Friday; but chances are 30% or less those 3 days. Overnight lows will stay in the 60s the next 5 nights so keep those AC units pumping. Catch the full forecast coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

Warm and breezy weather will be sticking around all week long in West Tennessee. There is a big frontal system sitting to the north of us but it will stay just north of us until the weekend. It could be close enough at times to spark up a few pop up storms or rain showers but chances are slim until Saturday night. Highs will stay above average until possibly Easter Sunday. Tonight will be partly cloudy at times with a light breeze out of the south. Morning lows will only fall to the mid 60s to kick off your Tuesday.

Tuesday is going to be another warm day with highs again in the low 80s. Some mid 80s cannot be ruled out this week as well with highs again flirting up near record highs. When we get the official report, March may end up being the hottest one on record for us in Jackson; a top 5 is almost a guarantee as of now. Expect partly cloudy skies but it will be quite breezy most of the day as well with gusts up to 25mph in the afternoon with sustained winds as high as 15-20mph. Tuesday night lows will again fall to the mid 60s. We are not expecting rain on Tuesday.

Rain chances begin on Wednesday and will be sticking around on Thursday and Friday as well. Chances are not great, but 20-30% of us will see something towards the back half of the work week. A front sitting to the north will slowly drop southward, and with the warm and humid weather, a handful of pop ups showers or weak storms will try to develop each afternoon. Do not count on the rain as most of us will miss out until the weekend. Highs will hit the mid 80s again under partly cloudy skies. It will be a bit breezy again and overnight lows will stay in the mid 60s to start our Thursday.

Rain chances are in the forecast for Thursday and Friday, but chances are not great. Highs will remain in the low to mid 80s to wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. The winds will remain out of the south and be a tad breezy at times. Skies will be partly cloudy in general and it will be somewhat humid as well. Both nights expect temperatures to fall into the low to mid 60s.

EASTER WEEKEND:

Changes in the weather are coming this weekend as the stalled out front to the north will finally get enough push from the north to pass south of us. As the front moves through, a round of showers and storms is expected. Some severe weather concerns cannot be ruled out yet, so we will need to keep a close eye on the timing of the system as that will play a big factor in the severity of the storms that may develop. As of now, Saturday evening into Sunday morning appears to be the most likely time to be impacted with showers and storms.

Highs on Saturday will reach the low 80s before the clouds and showers move in. Expect a breezy day with the winds changing from the south to the northwest Saturday night. Saturday night lows will fall to the upper 40s before we kick off your Easter Sunday. Highs on Easter are forecast to only reach the mid 60s. There could be some sunshine returning late in the day on Sunday but clouds are likely and maybe even some showers still in the morning for Sunday church. Please keep an eye on the forecast this week so you know what to expect and how to dress this weekend. Sunday night lows will fall down to around 40° but a frost of a freeze look unlikely at this time.
