Great Weather Continues, Warmer Weekend, Severe Threat Back Next Week!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
Highs have reached the upper 80s Wednesday across West Tennessee and we are expecting very similar numbers on Thursday. By Friday, we should hit the 80° mark before warming up to the mid 80s by the weekend. 80s are expected to continue for at least the first half of next week. There is a cold front that is going to get close on Friday but it will stall out before it gets to the Mid South. Eventually the front will push closer to the region early next week and will probably bring some storms our way. Some storms will be possible on Monday but severe storms could return Tuesday night into the day on Wednesday. Catch the latest coming up here.
THIS WEEK:
Well so far this April has been nothing like the April we had in 2025 and that is for the most part great news. There are no severe storms in the forecast this week and in fact, rain chances are not expected back until next week. The week will start out a little cool, but the heat will be returning just in time for the weekend. It looks like we have seen our last frost or freeze so go ahead and plant, and get your garden going this week or weekend if you haven’t done so yet!
Highs on Wednesday and Thursday will reach the upper 70s but we should fall just short of 80°. We will see more sun than clouds during the back half of the work week but more clouds than we will see during the beginning of the week. Overnight lows will fall to mid 50s later in the week before only falling to the upper 50s by the end of the work week and into the start of the weekend when the humidity will begin to climb. The winds will stay out of the south on Friday and highs should crack the 80° as we wrap up the work week on Friday.
THIS WEEKEND:
Take advantage of the weekend weather and make some outdoor plans. The weather looks like it is going to be great all weekend long. Highs will reach the mid 80s both days. The humidity will climb as the weekend goes on and so will the overnight lows. Saturday night we will fall down to around 60° and Sunday night lows will only dip into the mid 60s. Expect more clouds on Sunday that Saturday but both days are going to be really nice. If you haven’t planted yet, we are going to give you the green light as it appears any chance at a frost or freeze seems unlikely as of now. The next chance for rain is coming early next week and some storms could be coming back as well. But no rain is forecast this week or this weekend.
NEXT WEEK:
Cooler weather is not coming anytime soon! It looks like we have seen our last freeze and likely our last front of the Spring. Rain is NOT in the forecast this week but will be returning next week and we will get several chances between April 13-April 18. We still do need the rain, but I do not think too many hearts are being broken about seeing temperatures in the 30s coming to an end.
