Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Highs will reach the 60s for the remainder of the work week, but the warmer weather will bring in a round of heavy rain showers and possibly some storms late in the day on Thursday. The showers will show up Thursday morning and become heavy at times into the afternoon. The greatest chance for storms to mix in will be in our southern counties between sunset and midnight. It looks like a widespread 1-2″ of rain is coming with some local amounts up to 3″. Catch the latest on what you can expect where you live and we will have your weekend forecast for you as well coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

Tuesday was another day packed with sunshine and the northerly winds from Monday were replaced with southwest winds into the afternoon on Tuesday. This allowed highs to reach the upper 50s to low 60s on Tuesday and Tuesday night lows will fall down to the mid to upper 30s. Rain is not in the forecast on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Wednesday the warm up will continue with most of up making it back into the low 60s. Clouds will move back in late in the day on Wednesday and we will be mostly cloudy by Wednesday night. The winds on Wednesday are forecast to come out the west as an area of high pressure will continue to dominate our weather across the Mid South. Wednesday night lows will dip down to around 40°.

The next system is on the way for our Thursday and will impact our weather through Friday morning. A low pressure system will become stronger in Texas late in the week and a warm front will spawn and lift across West Tennessee on Thursday. As the front lifts, some showers will be possible in the morning and chances for storms will increase late in the day on Thursday and move through sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning. As of now, the severe weather threat looks low but cannot be ruled out depending on the timing of the storms and where the low pressure sets up on Thursday. Storms, however, look more likely than not as of now. The rain should clear out by Friday afternoon.

Thursday highs will make it up to around 60° but Thursday night is going to be warm and humid. Thursday night lows will fall down to around the mid 50s as the dew point and available moisture will be high and that is why we are expecting a round of storms to move through. Friday will be a warm and humid day and reach the mid 60s before the cold front section of the system pushes through late Friday and will drop temperatures back down to the low 40s by Saturday morning. As the front passes, a few light showers cannot be ruled out Friday night into Saturday morning. Expect a mostly cloudy day on Friday but the clouds should begin to break up some early into the weekend.

THE WEEKEND:

Behind the late week storm system, the weather this weekend will be improving. A few showers or two cannot be ruled out Saturday morning but most of the day on Saturday and Sunday will be dry for West Tennessee. Highs on Saturday will reach the mid 50s and the winds will be light out of the northeast. Sunday, the winds will be back to the southwest and that will allow highs to reach the mid 60s for the first time in a couple weeks. Sunday will also be a mostly sunny day so expect a really mild weekend across the entire Mid South. Saturday night the winds will be calm which will allow temperatures to fall down to around 40° before the warm up comes on Sunday. We are expecting more 60s t0 linger around as we kick off the following week as well.
