WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Behind last night’s cold front we fell down to the mid 50s in Jackson this morning. Tonight we will again fall down to the low to mid 50s but a nice warm up is coming as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. Another fall like front will move in late in the weekend and cooler weather will return into next week

After a soggy start to September and two tropical systems dumping rain on us later in the month, we ended up with the 3rd wettest September on Record in Jackson. We recorded almost a foot of rain falling just short of the all time record of 13.09″ set back in 2002. If you are sick of the rain there’s good news, there isn’t any rain in the forecast. It was a little chilly Wednesday morning, but there is a more significant front coming early next week, we likely will be dropping into the 40s, catch the full forecast right here.

THIS WEEK:

There was a few showers and clouds sticking around from what is left of Helene across West Tennessee on Monday, but the system has now moved out finally. The clouds also cleared out Tuesday afternoon and plenty of sunshine will be sticking around for the rest of the work week. We are likely going to see a lot of sunshine this week even through the weekend. There doesn’t appear to be any rain in the forecast any time soon! Fall like weather appears to coming though for next week.

A dry front moved through Tuesday night and that cooled things down a little more for the middle of the work week. Highs still reached the low 80s on Tuesday but we dipped down to the mid 50s by sunrise on Wednesday. Wednesday was 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. There are two areas we are also watching for possible development. The first is off the west coast of Africa and has now formed as a tropical depression, 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.
