A heat advisory remains in effect this evening and an excessive heat warning is out tomorrow for most of West Tennessee. Temperatures will feel as high as 110° for many of us Tuesday through Thursday. The actual temperature will reach the mid 90s but the thick humidity will make it feel so much hotter. On top of the heat, chances for rain are quite slim for a few days as well. Catch the full forecast details coming up here.
TONIGHT:
There were a few afternoon pop up showers but rain free conditions will move in tonight and likely be sticking around for a few days.

An excessive heat warning goes into effect on Tuesday with a feels like temperature reaching as high as 110° for areas in West Tennessee on Tuesday. The temperature itself will reach the mid 90s but it will be a very humid day as well. The winds are forecast to come out of the southwest and the skies will be mostly sunny. Rain is not in the forecast although a quick heat driven pop up cannot be ruled out. Tuesday night will remain warm and drop down to the upper 70s.
WEDNESDAY:
The heat will stick around on Wednesday and another excessive heat warning looks to be on the way. The feels like temperature will again reach up to around 110°. Highs will reach the upper 90s for some of us and the humidity will be thick again due to the southwest winds. Rain showers will look to stay away again for the region. Wednesday night lows will again fall down to the mid to upper 70s. Expect another day packed full of sunshine and another clear night.
THURSDAY:
The heat wave will continue for Thursday with highs again reaching the mid to upper 90s. The winds will stay out of the southwest keeping the humidity high and a feels like temperature between 105-110° during the afternoon and evening hours. Rain again is not in the forecast and Thursday night lows will drop down to the mid 70s. Skies are still expected to be mostly sunny and the winds will continue to come out of the southwest.
FRIDAY:
A few more clouds will develop during the day on Friday and a cold front will try to approach later in the day. This will bring some showers and maybe a few storms with it as it passes by. Highs will still reach the mid 90s before the front moves through. Friday night lows will fall down to the mid 70s. Temperatures will be a little cooler over the weekend. The winds will change from the southwest to the west and eventually to the northwest on Saturday. Rain chances are 30% as of now on Friday.
THE WEEKEND:
There could be a few lingering showers into the day on Saturday but we are not expecting much. Any showers that linger on Saturday will not be sticking around for our Sunday. There will be a few more clouds on Saturday, especially early in the day before a mostly sunny Sunday returns. The winds are forecast to come out of the north this weekend behind the front and that will keep the humidity down some as well. We will not be seeing any heat advisories this weekend in West Tennessee. Highs will still reach the low 90s and morning lows will be in the low 70s this weekend. Chances for rain on Saturday are 20% and 10% on Sunday.
