Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

It has been a warm and breezy day so far for our Tuesday and it will stay that way tonight. Overnight lows will only fall down to the mid 50s. We should hit the mid 70s again Wednesday, but the winds will be sustained 20-25 out of the southwest with gusts as high as 45 MPH. There will also be some isolated storms popping up in the afternoon and evening, but the severe threat is overall quite low. There might even be a few snow flurries for some of us Thursday morning too. Catch the latest here.

If you were curious if Monday morning was our last freeze of the season, that looks highly unlikely. We usually see our last freeze during the first week of April and our last front during the second week of April. The earliest last freeze of record for Spring was set back in 2017 on March 16th, so it is possible this was our last freeze, just highly unlikely. We have our next shot at a freeze coming Friday morning.

THIS WEEK:

The winds kicked up speed on Tuesday and it will be quite windy on Wednesday. A wind advisory has been issued for all of West Tennessee until Wednesday evening. The winds came out of the southwest on Tuesday between 10-15 MPH and kick up to 20-25 MPH on Wednesday. The winds will be picking up as the next low pressure system will approach and pass to the north of us Wednesday night. The system will bring a round of thunderstorms to West Tennessee. The storms will be scattered and a few severe storms will be possible in the later afternoon and early evening hours between (3-8pm). We are currently under a marginal risk (1/5) for severe storms on Wednesday.

Tuesday was warm with highs reaching the mid 70s. We also saw mostly sunny skies on Tuesday but clouds will look to move back in late in the day on Wednesday. Tuesday night will be warm and humid with overnight lows only dropping to the mid to upper 50s. Wednesday will be a warm, breezy and humid day with highs again reaching the mid 70s before the storms pop up. The storms will move out Wednesday night and as the front moves through, we are going to be chilly again by Thursday morning.

Thursday is the first day of Spring but it is going to feel a bit winter-like. Thursday morning lows will be around 40° and highs will only reach the mid 50s. There could even be a few flurries northeast of Madison county Thursday morning, but most of us will not see much at all. We are expecting mostly sunny skies again on Thursday and the winds will be pesky and brisk coming out of the northwest between 15-20 MPH. The winds will weaken Thursday night into Friday morning but temperatures will also be dropping, all the way down to the low 30s to kick off our Friday. Friday the winds will return to the south starting another brief warm up with highs reaching the mid 60s again on Friday. We will also see mostly sunny skies on Friday. Friday night lows will fall down to around 50° to kick off our weekend.

THE WEEKEND:

There will be a couple of low pressure systems that will try to impact our weather this weekend. The first one on Saturday looks to pass to the north of us. It could bring a few showers but we are expecting a mostly dry Saturday as of now. The storm system coming in on Sunday looks a bit more concerning and could bring some severe weather back to the Mid South. We will be watching the set-up closely this weekend and keep you updated out of the 7 Storm Team Weather Center.

Highs on Saturday will reach up to around 70° with the winds coming in at the west. If the first system clips us, the winds may come out of the northwest for a bit. Saturday night lows will fall down to around 50°. Highs on Sunday will also make it up to around 70°. Sunday night lows will be cooler behind the system and drop down to around 40°. There will be partly cloudy skies on Saturday and likely mostly cloudy skies on Sunday. The winds out Sunday will come out of the south until the front passes and return back to the northwest by Monday morning. Next week will start out a bit chilly.
