WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Our March officially ended up as the 2nd warmest on record in Jackson. We tied or set records for 5 days and only had 4 days below average for the entire month. We averaged over 11° above average per day in the high temperature department. The only year warmer since we have been keeping records was back in 2012.

Highs will stay in the mid 80s for the first few days of April but we will cool down this weekend as a cold front will bring plenty of rain on Saturday and cooler weather on Easter Sunday. Catch the latest on the pattern change coming up here.

Rain chances will be increasing late Thursday and into Friday as well. Chances are not great, but 30-40% 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 with Thursday night into Friday morning being the most likely time during the work week. Do not count on the rain as most of us will miss out until the weekend. Highs did hit the mid 80s again under partly cloudy skies on Wednesday. It was 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.
