Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

The low pressure system left over from Helene is still producing a few pop up light showers this evening in West Tennessee. The rain will clear out tonight but another round of fog will move in later tonight as well. The sun will return Tuesday afternoon but a late cold front will also move through Tuesday night bringing a mid week cool down. There is also a lot of action in the tropics and the Atlantic ocean and we will let you know if any of that is going to be a concern for us, coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

There are still a few showers and clouds sticking around from what is left of Helene across West Tennessee. The showers will wrap up Monday night but the clouds will linger into Tuesday morning. There will be another round of patch fog Tuesday morning as well as the humidity will still remain high and the winds in general will be calm to kick off the day. The clouds should clear out Tuesday afternoon and plenty of sunshine will be sticking around for the rest of the work week.

A dry front is forecast to move through Tuesday night and that will cool things down a little more for the middle of the work week. Highs will still reach the low 80s on Tuesday but we should dip down to the mid 50s by sunrise on Wednesday. Wednesday will be a bit cool with highs only reaching the upper 70s. 80s will look to return by Thursday and stick around through the rest of the work week. Morning lows will hang in the 50s for the most part this week with Thursday morning lows approaching 50° for many of us. The winds will come out of the north on Tuesday & Wednesday, but will turn to the east on Thursday and northeast on Friday. The east and northerly winds will keep the humidity down and prevent any showers or popping up through the weekend.

THE WEEKEND:

Another front will move through late in the weekend but it looks like a dry front, just like the one that passed Tuesday night. Highs will reach the mid 80s on Saturday but could drop to the low 80s on Sunday depending on the timing of the weekend front. We will see a few clouds on Sunday but Saturday looks to be a mostly sunny day. The weather looks pretty nice for outdoor activities this weekend. The ground should be nice and dry to get yard work or outdoor projects you were not able to get to last weekend due to the rain. Morning lows will be a bit chilly on Sunday with mid to upper 50s coming and we could drop down to the low 50s Sunday night.

ATLANTIC HURRICANE BASIN:

The Atlantic Hurricane Basin is very active this week but nothing appears to be an imminent threat for the United States. Isaac will be an issue for Great Britain, Joyce will fizzle out in the central Atlantic and Kirk will likely become a hurricane, but stay out in the central Atlantic as well. There are two areas we are also watching for possible development. The first is off the west coast of Africa and the 2nd is closer to home in the southern Caribbean. There is a 40% over the next 7 days that a system reorganizes itself in the Gulf of Mexico and becomes a named storm. There is still a lot of uncertainty with that cluster of storms as to will it even develop or not. On top of that, the strength it could become and where it might go is anyone’s guess at the current time. We will be watching it closely this week and keep you updated as more information becomes available.
