WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

April 15, 2025

Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Tonight could end up being our last night in the 30s this Spring. There are no signs of a freeze and a frost seems unlikely as well at this time over the next 2 weeks in West Tennessee. A warm front could bring a few showers northeast of Jackson on Wednesday and Thursday but chances are 20% at best. There is a much better chance for rain and maybe some severe weather coming in this weekend, especially late in the day on Easter Sunday.

THIS WEEK:

A weak mostly dry cold front passed through West Tennessee Monday night and brought a few showers and weak storms with it but most of us did not see anything at all. The front dropped temperatures about 10-15° into the day on Tuesday. Tuesday night we will bottom out for the cold spell and could be looking at our last night into the upper 30s for the rest of the Spring.

Skies were partly cloudy Monday night but cleared out by the morning on Tuesday. Monday night lows will fell down to around 50° and highs on Tuesday made it up to the mid to upper 60s. That is a little below normal for this time of the year but for most of the week, temperatures will be above normal. We saw plenty of sunshine on Tuesday but a few more clouds will look to return Wednesday afternoon/evening. The winds stayed out of the north all day on Tuesday and will continue that way on Wednesday. Tuesday night is where we will bottom out this week and fall down to around 40°.

It looks like we have seen our last freeze of the season and most likely our last frost as well. Feel free to plant if you get the time this week. The weather may not be great to plant this weekend as some rain showers and storms appear to be on the way. Highs on Wednesday will make it back up into the low 70s. There is a weak frontal boundary that may clip up Wednesday evening and bring a few showers or very weak storms with it. There is a chance to stalled out front stays just north of us, but it is going to be close either way. Wednesday night will be close to normal again around 50°.

The next warm up is coming on Thursday. Highs will reach the upper 70s to near 80°. The reason we will be warmer is due to the southerly winds with plenty of sunshine as well. We will be dry on Thursday but the humidity will increase into the afternoon and evening. The more humid air will allow overnight temperatures to only drop down to around 60° to kick off our Friday. We are expecting more clouds on Friday but it will again be a warm and humid day. There could be a few showers late Friday but we are expecting most if not all of them to stay to the northwest of West Tennessee. Highs on Friday will reach the low to mid 80s and Friday night lows will be warm as well falling down into the mid 60s. The winds on Friday will stay out of the south.

EASTER WEEKEND:

Southerly winds are expected to hang around all weekend long and that will keep the temperatures and humidity up as well. The warm and humid air, in combination with an approaching storm system, will look to bring some stronger storms and potential severe weather back to the Mid South this weekend. The most likely time to be impacted with severe storms as of now looks to be late in the day on Easter. The timing and severity of the event will likely change some and we will have updates for you multiple times a day this week as the weekend gets closer.

Highs on Saturday will reach the low 80s and expect mostly cloudy skies. There could be some late showers on Saturday but that all depends on where the warm front section of the system sets up. Saturday night will be warm with Easter morning lows starting in the low to mid 60s. Expect more clouds than sun on Saturday and mostly cloudy skies on Easter. Highs on Easter will reach the low 80s before falling down to the low the mid 60s by Monday morning.
