WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

The winds have started to come out of the southwest this evening and that will warm us back up into the low 50s on Saturday. Sunday will bring the next front, but it will be weak and only drop temperatures about 5°. The front also looks mostly dry but a few showers could pop up Sunday with most being south of Jackson. Next week, we could see temperatures as highs as 60° but there are a few chances for showers next week as well. Find out if any of the showers next week will come with storms or any snow; all coming up right here.

THIS WEEK:

The warm up continued on Thursday with highs reaching the mid 40s. Skies remained mostly sunny and the winds shifted from the south to the northwest late in the evening/night behind the next front. Tonight’s front will be a dry front and will only drop temperatures about 10° from Thursday into the day on Friday. Thursday night lows again dropped down to around 20°.

Friday was another cold but dry day for all of West Tennessee. Highs on Friday only made it up to the mid to upper 30s but, did we did see a mostly sunny day. The winds on Friday were light and came out of the northwest early before slowly turning to the southwest into the afternoon. Friday night lows will drop down to the mid 20s but it still will be another cold night with temperatures slowly warming up overnight from the southerly winds.

THE WEEKEND:

The warmest weather in over a week will be returning for the upcoming weekend. Highs will reach the upper 40s to lows 50s for both Saturday and Sunday. Clouds will increase as the weekend goes on and we will see cloudy skies for most of the day on Sunday. Cold rain showers will move in on Sunday and although most of us who actually see the showers will only see rain, we cannot yet rule out a brief wintry mix or a few snow flurries depending on how early the system shows up on Sunday and how late it lasts Sunday night into Monday morning. Storms are not expected with this round of cold rain showers that will mostly impact our southern counties that border Mississippi.

Saturday and Sunday night lows will also determine if we only see rain or any sort of Winter precipitation. As of now, both nights lows are forecast down to the low to mid 30s, just above freezing. It will be a close call so we will be monitoring the forecast for the weekend lows as the week goes on. The winds are forecast to come out of the southwest on Saturday and out of the north for the most part on Sunday behind the front.

NEXT WEEK:

We have a chance to hit 60° for the first time in awhile on Tuesday and Wednesday but Monday highs will only make it up to around 60°. We will see a mostly sunny day on Monday and Tuesday but clouds will return on Wednesday and so will the chance for some showers. Like on Sunday, the best chance to see the rain on Wednesday will be in our southern counties and we are not expecting much. We will be lucky for anyone to see over 1/4″ of rain from the low pressure system that is forecast to pass to the south of us. Since the system is coming from the west, we are not expecting temperatures to fall off much into Thursday of Friday. Thursday looks dry as of now, but the best shot for rain and maybe some storms in the forecast will come in next Friday evening and stick around into Saturday. It will be the main forecast in the forecast as we get going into next week!
